This is done by testing before you eat and again 2 hours after first bite. The rise from before to after is the important bit.I think you will find your breakfast is unsuitable - yogurt fine, cereals (granola) not so. Sandwiches? Bread is very difficult for the majority of us. Slimming World recipes? How many and what type of carbs in there?  All carbs convert to sugar once inside the system, so it makes sense not to eat too many. On packaged food you need to look for the Total Carbohydrate amount, ignore the "of which sugars" because all the carb content will be sugar as soon as you eat it. Diet is the key. Metformin does hardly anything. Sitagliptin is stronger and does help, but if you follow a low carb diet properly you may find you don't need it. (GP would need to be involved with any decision to stop taking it.)</blockquote>
