Hello,
Im new and have been on metformin 500 x 1 tablet each morning for just 4 days, no apparent side effects yet! maybe very slight tummy ache, but also taking iron tablets, so may be those doing that!
i am testing on walking and also 2 hours after eating ( would do more but expensive strips, doc wont give me any on script yet! ) so far a typical day is
waking ( fasting) 6.5
2 hrs after lunch 8.9 had 2 weetabix breakfast, a veg bake lunch and an apple
2 hrs after dinner 8.3 half thin based pizza and salad (our for a meal!)
are there levels too high, or ok, i dont even know what im aiming for!!!! doctor gave no advice except to not test, in case it worries me too much?
what would be a good level to aim for, my highest reading is 11.3 a few times after eating, my lowest one, yesterday, was 4.8, it seems all over the place
any help gratefully recieved!
thanks
