[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 390376, member: 21149"] Hi and welcome. I'm afraid a Mars bar was the worst possible thing you could have eaten without realising it. Whilst your blood sugar is high you will have sugar in the urine, feel thirsty, go to the loo a lot. As you drastically reduce your carb intake and overall portion sizes both your weight and blood sugar will reduce; this will take time. The Metformin will help a bit but diet and exercise are the key things. Being overweight you will be insulin resistant and the metformin will help your body start to regain proper metabolism of your natural insulin. You will not suffer hypos at all unless you become normal weight and are started on certain other tablets or insulin, so don't worry on that score. You can drink sensibly. Yes, as others have said do get hold of a meter. [/QUOTE]
