[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 751603, member: 94045"] Lol.... I wouldn't read anything in to your slightly lower reading of 7.1. Meters do fluctuate, and such a slight drop means very little. You could see larger differences by testing several times in succession. It is a bit hit and miss, and all you need to track are the trends over a period of time. Well done on your readings though. Have patience, you will get there. ;) Metformin doesn't really work that way. It works as an appetite suppressant and works on the liver to help reduce the amount of glucose the liver dumps in our bloodstream when we are fasting or exercising. It doesn't lower BS levels as such. Statins take a good 3 weeks to clear the system, not just a couple of days. [/QUOTE]
