[QUOTE="Phoenix55, post: 1699884, member: 242273"] If you are using diet and exercise to try to reduce your HbA1c then you really need to be testing 2 hours after each meal as well as fasting to find out what is going on and what is causing the high result. Why wait when you know that this is what needs to done? It may be that you are now reacting to grains as well as carby veg and the only way to find out is to test and record. If the fasting tests stay at this level or reduce still further perhaps you can contact the surgery and suggest you stay on one Met. and not increase the dosage, it seems that digestive problems tend to start with the increase for those that are going to have them and Met takes time to work on the bg levels and is minimal then. If you keep going you may find that in 3 months you are at non-diabetic levels and do not need medication. [/QUOTE]
