[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1451298, member: 94045"] Are you testing immediately before you eat and again 2 hours after first bite? If you do this, and look at the rise from before to after, you will see what that meal has done to your levels. This will give you the opportunity to reduce the carb portions or eliminate them. The idea is to keep the rise under 2mmol/l (36mg/dl) and preferably lower than that. Diet is the key to controlling your T2. Metformin will only help to a limited extent, if at all. The worst food items for raising levels are rice, potatoes, bread, pasta, breakfast cereals and flour. We also need to be careful with milk and fruit. Daisy will be along at some point with her information for newcomers. Have a good read, and read round the forums to see how others are controlling matters, then ask any questions you may have.
