[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 2457602, member: 21149"] Hi. Avoid tropical fruits such as bananas, nectarines etc as they are so high in sugars despite being good in other ways. Stick to apples, pears and so on. GPs love Metformin as they can be seen to be doing something for diabetes by prescribing. It often doesn't do as much as they hoped for. Typically if may reduce BS by 1 mmol. I do take it even with my insulin partly to keep my DN happy and it does have other protective effects beyond BS control. It's the law of diminishing returns when you increase the dose, so 2000mg doesn't have 4x the effect of 500mg. I wish GPs would stress having a low-carb diet as the highest priority rather than prescribing meds as the first option for treatment. [/QUOTE]
