[QUOTE="lynne99, post: 848479, member: 167015"] Hi, When I was on Metformin morning and night, I used to go to bed with blood sugars at 5.4 ish and wake up in the morning with anywhere between 15 and 20. The diabetic nurse at the surgery (brilliant :)) recommended and provided test machine and strips. Eventually I was put on insulin which solved the problem. With that and low carbs I now have little trouble. Go talk to your doctor or diabetic nurse and see if they can help you find a sensible way forward. The doctor you spoke to had little knowledge and even less bedside manner. [/QUOTE]
