[QUOTE="KennyA, post: 2458264, member: 517579"] I have no experience with metformin (or other drugs) so won't try to answer the first question. Many people have achieved huge reductions in BG by diet alone. Fruit: the only way you can find out what fruit does to your blood glucose is to use your meter. As T2s, by definition we can't handle carbs well, which includes fructose and sucrose. Some people can have more fruit than others, some people can't manage even the berries. While I can tell you what happens for me, I can't predict (I don't think anyone can) what happens for you. I can't eat fruit other than a few blueberries, strawberries, raspberries or blackberries every so often without my BGs rising too much. Still get a rise on the berries, but within my set limits. Unfortunately almost all the "healthy eating " advice the health service pumps out is no good for T2s, and may be positively dangerous. The garbled stuff you see in the media is even worse. This might help: [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/blog/kennya.517579/[/URL] Best of luck. [/QUOTE]
