There is nothing wrong in trying a low-carb diet, buying a meter and seeing how you go. I would take the Metformin if your readings do go above NICE guidelines e.g. a max of 8.5 mmol 2 hours after typical meals. Metformin is a good, safe drug. It doesn't have a dramatic effect and can cause bowel upset for some for a while. There is a Slow Release (SR) version if this happens. For most of us it's a drug you can take without worrying about side effects.</p></blockquote><p></p>
