[QUOTE="ringi, post: 1685122, member: 410240"] There is also your BG levels overnight etc, and the change from stopping metformin could take many months before it is large enough to measure on a normal BG meter. (A CGM looking at the area under the curve may show it up quicker.) Also remember that the high level of insulin our body makes to overcome our insulin resistance is what gives us the increased risk of stroke and heart problems, not the high BG levels. Yet the NHS will not measure fasting insulin levels for us, so we don't know if they are creeping up. (A single private test will not tell you much, as you need lots of data points.) [/QUOTE]
