[QUOTE="Stu78, post: 2140796, member: 502697"] Hi Antje77 Thanks for the advise, very helpful. I don`t have any hypos on metformin at the moment, the lowest I have checked myself at is 4.8 and that was after swimming. I am consistently getting between 5 and 7 which I think is good :) I was told by my nurse not to worry about testing after food (which seems odd), only before food. I ignored her and tested myself regularly 2 hours after food at the start and started doing it again now. Figures seem good, the highest I had was just after diagnosis 6 months ago when it hit 13, averaging about 11, but more recently 9`s or 10`s which I`m pleasantly surprised by. I have not gone for a low-carb diet, but I do try not to overdo carbs and instead do regular walking swimming and cycling. Sugar-wise I try, but also have the odd treat now and again. I`m just waiting for this honeymoon period to end I guess :( [/QUOTE]
