PP BG acceptable

[Shahnaz2357]

I am on 500mg metformin x 2 per day. My fasting BG is 100 or below but PP is from 155 to 168. Is this good management?

Your fasting looks good to me. However your pp numbers are higher than recommended for a type 2. Your numbers equal 8.6 - 9.3 mmol/l in U.K. measurements. Here’s a link to the recommended numbers:

What type of diet do you eat on a typical day?

@Rachox thanks for your reply. My breakfast is one cup of tea with milk no sugar + one boiled egg. At Lunch and Dinner, I eat lots of fresh vegs. salads + chicken/mutton curry + one small brown pita bread or sometimes one cup boiled rice. By the way, I checked Diabetes101 website which says PP 160 mg.dl or 8.8 mmol/l BG is considered normal still I am worried about my PP numbers.

Different countries have different recommended levels. I’m in the U.K. so go by U.K. recommendations. You may want to try dropping the bread and rice to improve your numbers?

Rather than concentrating on the actual post meal level, it is better to look at the actual rise from before eating to the 2 hour mark. This should be under 2mmol/l (36mg/dl), and hopefully a lot less. The flatter the better.
