[QUOTE="Guzzler, post: 1833808, member: 408573"] Hello and welcome to the forum. Tagging [USER=25759]@daisy1[/USER] for the info pack offered to all newcomers. Well done so far. Your readings arn't bad considering you have only been monitoring for a short while. Did your nurse explain when to test? This should be before the first bite of food then two hours after the first bite of food. The two readings should differ by no more than 2mmol preferably less than that. It is quite normal for levels to fluctuate but those fluctuations should be gentle and not the spikes that over time can cause problems. May I ask how you have adapted your diet, great work on the weight loss by the way. Metformin is well known for upsetting the gastric tract. You may find that this settles down after a while, if not then request the slow release version of the drug which is said to be kinder on the system. Have a wander around the forum and ask as many questions as you like. [/QUOTE]
