[QUOTE="budhi76, post: 2568246, member: 564913"] Hi Everyone, My name is Budhi from Indonesia. Two months ago I was diagnosed with diabetes with HbA1C 7.1. I was not prescribed any medicine and told to change lifestyle, and monitor after 3 months. I went to the other doctor, and also told to keep monitoring. Then I started to do intensive aerobic exercise, have low-carb diet, and no more snacking. Already lost weight almost 10 kg in 2 months. However during the time, most of my fasting blood glucose in the morning is quite good. From 87 - 104 mg/dL. But I notice about 4 times post meal (1 - 5 hours) my blood glucose spike to 180 - 210 mg/dL. But went down to 90-100 mg/dL after 5-6 hours. Based on my description, would you guys have same experiences? And should I take metformin already, as I read many journals that renal damage start at 180 mg/dL blood glucose level and also retinopathy. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
