[QUOTE="scot russell, post: 2460590, member: 550657"] I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in August 2021, this was after a heart attack. I was also diagnosed with high cholesterol & high BP and had a Stent fitted. I am now on a low carb diet. Was on metformin but this was stopped because of constant diarrhoea. My total cholesterol is now 2.9 I have gone from 11st 6lbs to 10st. My HBA1C was 72 but is due to be checked the end of this month. My BM was 12.4 in August. I do a fasting glucose test every morning. Results between 4.5 & 7.6 but mostly 6.1 Is a fasting test the best one to do? Or should I be testing before and after meals? And if so, what results should I be looking for? Any advice would be great thanks. [/QUOTE]
