[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 2058686, member: 94045"] Do you also test before each meal and 2 hours later? (and even 1 hour and 3 hours later)? That is the best way to do things. If that meal raises you by more than 2mmo/l (and preferably a lot less than 2) then there were too many carbs for your body to cope with. Keeping a food diary including portion sizes, and recording these levels alongside will help you decide which foods are OK and which are not. Your current diet is very carb heavy and will be why your HbA1c is high. Metformin is a mild drug and only helps to a very limited extent. Diet is the key. [/QUOTE]
