[QUOTE="theonlysbf, post: 143221, member: 19662"] [b]Re: How long for metformin to kick in?[/b] Just a quick reply to your last post your BG are quite low for morning readings at 4.5. I could not function at all this level. The lowest I let mine get to is about 5 but I always want my am test to be about 5.6. This shows just how different we type 2's are? The average on my meter is 6.3 and my last HBA1C was 6.3. My BP is under control, my cholesterol is 4.9, all are within NICE guidelines, but a specialist doctor who I recently saw after my spine surgery told me that guideline cholesterol levels for Diabetics is pretty irrelevant it should be as low as possible not below 5, if you want the best chance of decent life span. My GP and DN has confirmed this, so sadly it looks like statins for me. Hope you are well and good luck on 9th July [/QUOTE]
