[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1510767, member: 94045"] Blimey! The nurse gave you a meter and you are just on Metformin? Lucky person! Her advice is a bit daft though. "Play around" isn't going to help a lot. Have you been advised to test out your food? We do this by testing immediately before we eat and again 2 hours after first bite. The difference between these 2 readings will show you what your food choices have done to your levels and give you the opportunity to eliminate or reduce the carbs in that meal. Beer is not a wise choice on a regular basis. It is full of sugar. There are some lower carb/lower sugar options available in some brands of bottled beers. I'm not an expert on beers. However, I am an expert on wine! How about changing over to a glass of red instead of beer? There are virtually no carbs in red wine, dry white, or most spirits. [/QUOTE]
