[QUOTE="bulkbiker, post: 1409468, member: 219467"] The methodology.. adjusting the drugs dose won't work with metformin as it does not "cover" your last meal like an insulin dose would. You'd be better testing and avoiding foods that cause your blood sugar to spike (mainly carbs in any form). When I was first diagnosed I tested a lot, before and after every meal to see what happened to my blood sugar after eating. As I cut out breakfast immediately that was 5 or 6 times a day some people test even more than this. It took ages for my FBG to reduce and even today I can still get odd high readings (as well as the odd low ones). So far I haven't seen any rhyme or reason in my FBG but carry on monitoring because it is now habit. [/QUOTE]
