Ive just had my review and a lengthy chat with the nurse and Im confused. Ive managed to get my hba1c down from 8 to 6 by changing my diet and excercising more. We were talking about maybe cutting Gliclazide out and only taking Metformin, I said that I am unable to keep my BG below 9 with just Metformin after having a meal. She said it was normal for BG to go high after a meal, while your body responds to the meds and lowers your BG levels and providing they were back to normal levels 2 hours after a meal, it was ok. What you need to avoid is over 9 for prolonged periods.
On here I see it should never, ever be allowed to go above 9, even after a meal for an hour or so, so who is right?
According to this http://www.diabetes.org.uk/Guide-to-dia ... e_targets/ its ok, as my nurse said, for it to go above 8.5 after a meal, providing its below 8.5 2 hours after a meal.
