[QUOTE="Lazybones, post: 1359771, member: 85347"] A pre brekfast blood glucose reading of 20 mmol/L and the 2000 mg daily dosage of Metformin would indicate that the experts havent got your diabetes under propper control with their medication regemem. The 3.0 mmol/L rise in post prandial blood glucose levels aren't the problem here, it's your 'Standing' blood glucose level and the fact that your digestive system seem to be having serious difficuties in adjusting to handling the Metformin ie: diarrohea. Yes choosing the correct food items to eat (cutting down/out carbohydrates) will help, but I would be more concerned over the high blood glucose standing levels which definately require further investigation. What has been your HbA1c reading over the resent months,has it been steadily rising, and is there any reason why you should have reached such high levels. Are you otherwise well in yourself, no illness, colds, infection,r thyroid or hormonal problems. These things need looking into first if only to eliminate any other cause before suddenly changing from the Metformin to some other medication. It might be a case of going back to your Dr.for a suitable explanation, and if that dosen't produce a satisfactory answer to consider changing your Dr. [/QUOTE]
