[QUOTE="whompa73, post: 416068, member: 79538"] Ok 17.7 is high but it may be worth doing a second test as somtimes you can get a fluke reading. Also there is a percentace of accuracy tollerance which means you could be in the 14s or 15s although I am not saying that this is what has caused it. If you are worried call 111 and they should be able to help I called last week and they were realy good despite the bad press they have been getting. I personally test first thing in morning , before every meal and 2hours after every meal and somtomes just before I go to sleep . I do this because I am new to diabetes and am trying to get a feel for what differnt foods do to me especially as I am trying to stay relitivly low carb. As for taking metformin I beleive people say mid meal because it is easyer on the stomach and digests easyer and longer being mixed better with the food. Hope this helps [/QUOTE]
