Message: <blockquote data-quote="findave" data-source="post: 95490" data-attributes="member: 21570">I did two three-month trials ,one with 500x2 Metformin, the next  my usual low carb diet ( less than 50c p.d..)  The HBA1c results; both 5.8%.   I have since tested a standard low carb cereal breakfast (7g carb in 65g of food) with and without Met. over a week.    The result was a mean of 0.3% in favour of Metformin.   I don't understand the discrepancy - though of course the difference is below the stated accuracy limits of the meter...I have read somewhere that Met. is more useful at high BG readings than at near-normals.  Can't recall the reference.</blockquote>
