[QUOTE="Zilsniggy, post: 1738763, member: 222691"] Metformin basically does not work to lower your blood glucose on its own, it helps with insulin resistance, so helps your other diabetes meds work and be more effective. I'd say you might also need to tweak your diet. Test after you eat to see which foods actually contribute to the raise in blood sugar. (test at one hour, then two, from first bite of food). If you continue to eat a normal diet, ie loaded with carbohydrate(as is often recommended to us) you may struggle to continue to control blood sugars. However, it is entirely your own choice to do so. I have eaten low carb for the last 9 months or so, my A1C has halved and my cholesterol levels have improved to normal. The programme on here will give you an idea of how to go about it. What I will say though, is IF you decide to go ahead with the programme, please do it under medical supervision, since some of the meds you are on would lead to dangerous lows when eating low carb.
