[QUOTE="Art Of Flowers, post: 1493026, member: 375067"] 2000 Mg of Metformin is a huge dosage. Most people are on 2x500. It is best to phase in the dosage of Metformin rather than taking the maximum dosage from the start as it can have some serious side effects. I was on 2x500 Metformin, but reduced to one pill a day after three months as my HbA1C dropped from 99 to 59 and I stopped taking it completely three months later once my HbA1C dropped to 44. Some people find that they can't take Metformin and control blood sugars by diet alone. The best way to lower your blood sugar is through a LCHF diet and to use a blood glucose meter to check which foods spike your blood sugars. In general, it is best to avoid food high in carbohydrate such as breakfast cereals, bread, potatoes, rice and pasta. Also avoid fruit juice and fruit such as grapes and bananas. You can eat more fat in your diet from cheese, nuts, avocados etc. See [URL]https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb[/URL] for ideas of what to eat. [/QUOTE]
