hi
i have had type 2 since june 2016 my numbers are coming down but are still high normally 6. to 6.8 in the morning and anything from 8 to 10 after a meal .i have found intermittent fasting helps so i eat from 12 till 8 pm .
my question is my blood sugars were 8.2 2 hours after tea and i had nothing to eat after that apart a few cups of tea this morning it is 9.2?
i am on metaformin 1 tablet twice a day
regards
James 2
