[QUOTE="Deleted member 43917, post: 269876"] I've just been reading this thread with interest as I'm already taking 2000mg Metformin and at my last six monthly check I was 9. From what I've seen on individual's threads they don't seem to have had an issue with this - but I did wonder about the sugar/carb content of slimfast. Carbohydrate (g) per 37.5g serving is 35g of which sugars (g) per 37.5g serving is 30g [url=http://www.slimfast.co.uk/products/powder-shakes-and-sachets/w/wiki/Chocolate-Flavour-single-Sachet-Powder.aspx?ProductID=29]http://www.slimfast.co.uk/products/powd ... oductID=29[/url] Whereas Optislim is: 22g of carbs per serving 20g of sugar per serving [url=http://www.optislim.com.au/how_it_works/faq.htm]http://www.optislim.com.au/how_it_works/faq.htm[/url] I don't know if I'm being too picky as this is all very new - but just thought I'd post this and see if anyone else has any thoughts on this. As I've only just started cutting down on carbs, I'm not sure what kind of carb content is necessary for health and what level to avoid going over - I'm just trying to go by what reduces my bg.
