[QUOTE="xfieldok, post: 1827621, member: 460785"] [USER=476626]@Marcus1234[/USER] if you haven't already done it, download the mySugr app. You can enter your readings, record exactly what you eat, exercise and a number of other things. I use it for fasting BG, as soon as I get up, before and after meals and bedtime. At the beginning, fasting and bedtime numbers are not that important, but I like data! You should be interested bin your levels before and after eating. I the difference between the before and after is more than 2 then your meal either had too many carbs or the portion size was too large. It is a huge learning curve. You will make many mistakes, we all did. Treat everything as part of your education. Once you see how foods affect your numbers, you can adjust accordingly. This is a marathon and not a sprint. I was put on the full dose of Metformin. My dose was incremental over a number of days. I personally had no issues with it. Once I got to the maximum dose I did find my numbers started to drop. However, this could have been a coincidence as I was finally getting to grips with LCHF. There are so many variables, there is no quick fix for us. All trial and error for us as individuals. Metformin doesn't reduce your BG. It is working in the background. Jason Fung in his book the Diabetes Code explains it and is recommended reading. [/QUOTE]
