[QUOTE="Li4m79, post: 1152862, member: 291406"] So just a little update as I was at the Dr's yesterday; I have been logging my bs levels and showed the Doc, I still have spikes every now and again (i'm finding it hard to let go of full fat coke in my vodkas) but never go above 10, and they are usually back below 7 within a couple of hours. My Doc, wants me to monitor less and just go by the HbA1c results (which i wont have another one until July/August) insists I up my metformin from 2x500 to 3x500 per day. He also wants me to be eating more carbs and more fruit (the very things that I have shown him cause spikes).... I'm gonna keep to what he says about the meds just now, until i'm on point with my lchf diet. But overall i'm well happy, since being able to monitor myself, which is about a week, I can start to see what causes me to spike and by what degree... If i wasn't monitoring I would have no idea, and my levels would probably still be way above normal... Also its when i experiment with different carbs or amounts I see the biggest changes... a month ago my fasting used to be between 18-24 and now its between 5-7 so i cant grumble at all. I appreciate all the info/advice and support this forum gives because i know if i'd just followed the doctors wishes i would be no where near those levels at all, and i would be naive and not know any difference..
