[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1459096, member: 94045"] Testing is essential otherwise you are working blind, but you need to be organised with it. Random tests tell you nothing. You need to be able to learn from them. Test: before you eat 2 hours after first bite Look at the rise and try to keep it under 2mmol/l, preferably under 1.5mmol/. Keep a food diary including portion sizes and record your levels alongside. Look for patterns - which foods are causing rises? They will be the carbs because all carbs convert to glucose once inside the system, and that is what we do not need. You can them eliminate some of these carbs or seriously reduce the portion sizes. Metformin does very little to lower blood sugar levels. Diet is the key. [/QUOTE]
