[QUOTE="NeilHewitt, post: 1913586, member: 493176"] Got my monitor today. I couldn't take a fasting reading because I'd already had lunch when I picked it up from an Amazon locker, but about 2 hours after lunch it was 9.3 - which is high but not as high as my GTT readings. It wasn't a particularly low-carb lunch either. So I guess the Metformin are having an effect. I'll check my fasting reading in the morning. Dizziness and headache were really bad on Friday, but today (Saturday) they've been better, especially dizziness. Unfortunately I have just had a run of palpitations tonight, but those do happen occasionally anyway. I'm probably stressing too much over what the drugs may be doing to my body. Relaxing and not caring are the way to get rid of ectopics, at least for me. Plus Magnesium. I've noticed an effect on my ability to taste things - it's subtle, but stuff doesn't quite taste right. Blander, and there's a slightly sour note to everything. I see from other threads that this is not necessarily uncommon. With meter in hand, now I can start to see how different foods affect my blood glucose levels. [/QUOTE]
