[QUOTE="Gracicles, post: 1125210, member: 142508"] Hi I'm T2 and started metformin last week at 500mg after breakfast. I am meant to increase it to after breakfast and after lunch tomorrow and then again next week to one after tea as well, but I've been following a low carb diet for a week too and my blood sugars have only been a little high after breakfast (I suspect because it usually cereal and too high in carbs) the rest of the time they have been perfect. My question is do I really need to increase the Met when my sugars are good? I don't want to end up having terrible lows. Would 500mg a day be enough to actually do anything? Thanks [/QUOTE]
