[QUOTE="Avocado Sevenfold, post: 581378"] Hi Davey and welcome to the forum :) It's great that you were given a meter and are using it. Yes, bread does not agree with you it would appear. This is not unusual. Any carbohydrate you eat will turn into sugar in your blood and give you higher readings. Best to avoid or cut down a lot on bread, potatoes, rice, pasta, pastry and sweet things for now until you get your levels down. In time you can use your meter to see what foods you can tolerate. The metformin you have been given will not reduce your levels by much but does have benefits. Diet and exercise are the key. Stick around and you will pick up loads of advice. It is a lot to take in at first, but your symptoms will improve very soon. [/QUOTE]
