[QUOTE="OB87, post: 2323860, member: 532114"] I wanted to save medication for when I really needed it too and tried for a couple of weeks without it but I've now decided to take one 500mg metformin tablet in the evening with dinner and it has helped. My readings 2 hours after dinner are usually between 5 and 7. I've reduced carbs but not completely restricted. My fasting levels are higher between 6 and 7.5 sometimes abit more. I'm only 3 weeks in so I'm hopeful if I can lose weight that will help as well. I'm considering taking another dose of the metformin though to help reduce the fasting levels [/QUOTE]
