[QUOTE="silky1, post: 938215, member: 203636"] Yours sound like they are going in the right direction. I've been on Metformin coming up for 2 weeks, and it has made a significant reduction to my blood sugar - I was diagnosed with blood glucose readings of 10.9 and 17.9 and a HbA1c of [B]106[/B] I started on 500 and am now on 1000mg - my highest reading since I started has been 12.2 with only 2 readings over 10 (both after meals) and all fasting below 7 (this mornings were slightly higher (6.7 at 7am) - I'm no expert but that might be due to a late night snack of strawberries and grapes. Having suffered a number of attacks of acute pancreatitis - and losing my father to it (both of us tee-total) - although we don't know for definite - for the moment we are working on the basis of Type II - so I'm very pleased with the levels I'm getting now and have learnt a lot more here about testing than I learnt from the medics I've also made some drastic changes to my diet in that I'm actually eating now and have removed high sugar drinks from my diet - and if I do need sugar - going for natural sugars [/QUOTE]
