[QUOTE="Sue Morton, post: 151859, member: 26414"] I am on 2x500mg metformin and take 1 after breafast and one after eveing meal. I also asked a question on here because I sudddenly started to shake and feel really ill had a sweet and managed to take my BS which was 4.4 not my usual count I am normally in the range of 6 to 7 occasionally but not often, in the 5.1. Our bodies get used to being 6 to 7 and suddenly to drop to 4.4 your body reacts to this but if you kept your count in the 4s your body will gradually (I assume) get used to it and you wouldn't get the shakes etc. If your BS is going high then you will start to get the thirsts etc especially if you are not getting your BS down. Try reading items on here about low carb diet look at what you are eating - are you eating breakfast - try taking your metformin after breakfast and then eating something like an apple or pear or even a banana in between lunch to stop that drop - have lunch and then your evening meal/metformin. Test 2 hours after breakfast, lunch and then after your eveing meal and see what your BS is after each meal and you will see which meal is making your BS go high. Each time you have something different to eat test. I don't know if you can get the test stips there on prescription but it is the only way to control your BS. Its also to good to test on the food you normally eat now and again as your body can change and suddenly its high. As an example I tried some polish rye & wheat bread 2 slices of toast and after tested I was 5.1 brilliant I thought then the next day was 6.1 didn't test the following day but did the next and I was 9.9 and the next was 10.1 so what looked like i could eat I can't only probably as a one off once now and again. Hope you suss out and get things under control. All the best Sue :) [/QUOTE]
