[QUOTE="shekindevon, post: 988218, member: 164876"] I test twice a day sometimes 3. (my reading can vary from 4.1 Lower sometimes, i feel hypo when it 4 and lower of course,) mostly my reading are between 9.0 and 15.00 like this morning it was 15 yet when i went to bed it was 6. i try to keep to a balanced diet. I take 850gr of metformin twice a day. my first D/N told me to take the metformin straight after my evening meal, but did not say anything about breakfast i suppose on reflection i should have realised , after 7years i have discovered i should do so, i had been taking them along with tablets for my high blood pressure ( i had it before the diabetes) it could be sometimes an hour after eating my Weetabix or porridge, I feel silly not having done so, from now on i will take it as soon as i have eaten my break [/QUOTE]
