[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2216363, member: 480869"] they mostly say don’t test. That doesn’t mean that’s right. It’s more about costs and also about not understanding how to test for a type 2. They see it as an insulin dosing and hypo avoidance thing not appreciating how useful it is for testing reactions to foods. so in answer to your question, as soon as you can get a kit. metformin will help your liver not dump excess glucose but it won’t mop up extra you eat, that’s why we advise not to eat too many carbs. The metformin might cause tummy upsets. If it doesn’t settle or is too bad, go back and either get the slow release version that’s usually gentler or maybe try without it if you cut carbs instead (that will have more effect anyway).
