[QUOTE="Enclave, post: 1459003, member: 92754"] Hi Paula, As testing is the only way we can see if what adjustments to our diet is working .. so please do test. I don't know what your eating at the moment but the low carb high fat way of eating worked for me .. as carbs will turn to sugar when eaten !! the high fat bit for me was just not eating anything low fat .. olive oil and coconut oil are great for good fats. The pain, medication and trauma from your operations will also help raise your sugar levels. As others have said Metformin will not lower your blood sugars. As time goes by and you learn what is causing you (food wise) to still be high in blood sugars you will be able to test less .. 3 years ago I was testing 8 times a day .. now I test once or twice a week .. Please try not to stress as stress also will raise blood sugars !! [/QUOTE]
