[QUOTE="Art Of Flowers, post: 1483750, member: 375067"] Metformin does not reduce blood sugar by much. Going from 1000 to 2000 Metformin per day is likely to reduce your blood glucose by less than 0.5. Eating low carb will have a much greater effect. Get a blood glucose meter to test before and two hours after meals. See [URL]https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb[/URL] for some ideas what to eat. You need to reduce carbs, not just sugar. Avoid breakfast cereals. I have a one egg cheese omelette for breakfast. Avoid bread, potatoes, rice and pasta. Fruit juice is high sugar, so don't drink that and avoid fruit such as bananas and grapes. I often have salad with mayonnaise for lunch. Your swimming world meal may be low calorie, but may have too many carbs for a diabetic. Avoid sandwiches as they are very high carb. For snacks I eat nuts and babybell cheese. Also avacodos.
