[QUOTE="MaxRebo001, post: 1359848, member: 370739"] I had exactly the same issues with metformin both the normal and SR versions i was on them for over 3 years and the symptoms never went away and my blood sugars never really stabilised, i was then put on sitagliptin and gliclazide, which helped. You don't state what kind of diet you are on, but no amount of drugs will control levels if your diet is poor, the sitagliptin in theory should stop you spiking but if you have only just started taking it it will take some time to stabilise. Keeping a record of what you eat and taking readings before you eat and then 2 hours after should give you a better idea of what food and amount of carbs you can tolerate. Personally I use the myfitnesspal app to track my meals and keep my carb intake low usually within 20-40g of carbs per day, though i do try to keep nearer to 20 as much as possible. [/QUOTE]
