On low carb diet seem to get good reading off metformin. Problem seems to be first reading in morning before breakfast can go up to 8. Tried reducing carbs increasing carbs and ex exercise. Seem stuck any suggestions. Meter average seems to be 7.8 over last 4 weeks. Thinking of going on one dose metformin at night booked ha1bc but can't get in till 8th July and GPS and nurse on holiday. What do you think. Grateful for any advice.
 
I'm in the same boat, this morning it was 7.3 which is the lowest I have been since diagnosis a few months ago. Although the morning readings are coming down as I was averaging 10 first thing. They are slowly reducing. I had a great afternoon reading of 5.8 yesterday which thrilled me so I just have to keep plugging on with exercise, LC, my 2 a day Metformin habit and hopefully things will improve over time and my early highs will level out.
Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Thanks don't want to go back on metformin but seem to becoming obsessed with getting to under 7 first thing. Would going on one dose hurt might try 1 tablet at night see how it goes.
