[QUOTE="catinahat, post: 2662193, member: 155453"] Welcome to the forum [USER=582886]@butterfly 60[/USER] As already mentioned sukkarto and glucophage are just Metformin by other names. Metformin will not reduce the sugar that got into your blood from your diet. Metformin works by reducing the amount of glucose your liver releases into your blood, it can do nothing about the glucose that comes from the carbs in you eat. For that you would need one of the stronger drugs, or insulin. If you could give us an idea of what your diet looks like , we may be able to make suggestions that will help lower your levels. 'Eating generally low carb' doesn't give us much idea of your daily carb intake or if there's any room for manoeuvre. [/QUOTE]
