[QUOTE="the-noob, post: 1244349, member: 329025"] Hi, Short background: I've been diagnosed this sprint after a routine check and prescribed Metformin 500g x2/day. After attending an informative diabetes meeting I've changed a few things in my diet like eating some 'slow release' carbs in the morning (100-150g) and reduce the portions + cutting the sweets to once a week. Non-smoker, stopped even the casual drinking last year in Nov, now no more than 1-2 pints every other Friday with co-workers (from like 15 jaggerbombs every Sat) Now... after about 3 months of what I considered good improvement (lost ~2 inches waist line) I decided to buy a meter and... surprise surprise, my levels rarely go under 8(mmol/l). When they do I feel sick and dizzy (got to 6.5 like 2 times), the 'slow release' rubbish carbs get me to 16-19 within the hour but usually drops to 9 in 3-4h. Anyone else experiencing this kind of roller coaster readings ? Purely from a 'see the numbers' perspective do you think it's worth getting some Libre sensors ? [/QUOTE]
