[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1669370, member: 94045"] Cutting out or greatly reducing major carbs and eating as few as you can will help more than Metformin. Diet is the key to control. You can use your meter to help you discover which of your food choices are unsuitable for you. Test immediately before you eat, then again 2 hours after your first bite. Look at the rise from before to after. Hopefully you can keep this below 2mmol/l and preferably less. You may find that with careful portion control you can cope with small portions of some of these, or you may not. Let your meter guide you. Keeping a detailed food diary and recording your levels alongside will help enormously. Major carbs are ones that contain rice, pasta, bread, potatoes, breakfast cereals and anything made with flour. We also need to be careful with fruit. [/QUOTE]
