[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2258644, member: 480869"] Good that the dr acknowledged your success. Sad that he doesn’t know how to test. Before eating and 2 hrs after rising no more than 2mmol less even better. (Immediately after will likely be higher but if it comes quickly back down that’s ok it is the overall picture that’s matters). These mealtime readings guides your eating. Random readings will tell you nothing useful. Trends are what a type 2 looks for in terms of overall success once safe foods are identified and foods that spike are ditched. Metformin works mostly by preventing your liver dumping glucose when it senses you are lower than it expects you to be. It’s overall effect is minimal and can not be judged by individual readings. it will mostly show in morning fasting readings as this is when most dumping takes place, and maybe after a period of fasting for some.
