[QUOTE="Goonergal, post: 1423067, member: 368709"] Welcome to the forum [USER=390687]@JenMH[/USER] I'm tagging [USER=25759]@daisy1[/USER] who will be along with some useful information for newbies. Are you only taking Metformin or are you on any other medication? If it's just the Metformin you might want to think about eating a low carb diet. Aside from sugar, this means being careful about breakfast cereal, rice, pasta, potatoes and bread. Cutting these out, or significantly reducing them will have a very positive impact on your blood sugar levels. Great that you have a meter. If you test right before you eat and then 2 hours after the first bite, you'll get an idea of which foods affect you most - you're aiming for a rise of no more than 2mmols after 2 hours. Do ask as many questions as you like- we're a friendly bunch on here and you'll get lots of support and advice. [/QUOTE]
