[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2660573, member: 401801"] Hi [USER=582764]@Minalo1[/USER] , You're responding to a thread that's a few years old, so you might not get a lot of feedback. A 10.5 average is still pretty high, and metformin wasn't likely to make much of a dent in that anyway. (It makes our liver dump less glucose, and makes us a smidge more insulin sensitive, but it doesn't really do anything about what we ingest.) I'm not familiar with trulicity myself, but I gather it does the same gliclazide does? In any case, if you want to further lower your blood glucose to levels that don't cause complications later on, [URL]https://josekalsbeek.blogspot.com/2019/11/the-nutritional-thingy.html[/URL] might help some. It's basically what i did, when metformin also really, REALLY wasn't the way forward for me either. ;) But do test a lot, if you give it a go, as you might hypo when combining this with Trulicity. If you have any questions, feel free to start a thread of your own. There's always someone around with answers. Good luck, Jo [/QUOTE]
