[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2213739, member: 401801"] Glic forces your pancreas to produce more insulin, yeah. That said, what you're seeing is Dawn Phenomenon... Your liver is dumping glucose to help you start the day. And it just keeps on doing that until you eat. (Which is what the metformin was for: it cut down the glucose dump by up to 75%). As you're used to somewhat higher numbers your liver thinks that is the "norm", what it should be aiming for, which is also why fasting blood glucose is the last to come down once you diet. (Also the reason why it's usually a waste of strips at the start, because it'll be a while before you see that coming down... Before and 2 hours after a meal are more telling. If the differences are 2.0 mmol/l or lower, your body is coping.... And the fasting blood glucose will follow. Takes weeks, months, sometimes years though). [/QUOTE]
