I have just been diagnosed as type 2 and started metformin last night (1 x850 in morning and same in evening) along with something to lower cholesterol. My hb1a was 9.5.
My question is :How long is too long between meals and could it have an adverse reaction while taking metformin?
The reason I ask this is because I work 9am to 2.30/3.00 pm. I usually have toast about 7.30am and then wait til I come home before having lunch. I normally have some chocolate during the day at work but obviously this is now a no no!
Can I still wait til I come home to have something to eat or should I have lunch at work?
I have ordered a testing monitor but it will be 5 days before it arrives so I can't test yet to see what works and what doesn't. (was refused monitor at clinic yesterday and have signed e-petition at directgov-for all those type 2 who have been refused a monitor)
Any advice/help would be really appreciated.

I eat when I'm hungry.
Can't eat bread as elevates my BG level. So have eggs for brekkie. What about take to work snacks like more eggs, chicken, cheese, olives, salad, smoothies, kale chips, flax crackers.
The list is as long as your imagination.
