Hi
Today is 5 days since started metformin and max of 200g a day whole food based carbs diet and exercise (mixture of stationary bike and weights).
Been using the iBGstar to monitor BG and clinistix to monitor UG.
Up early as have to go to Manchester today. I have not eaten since 19:00 yesterday.
BG is 18.6mmol and UG showing as light reading i.e. there is some glucose in there.
My question is: what happens if diet, exercise and metformin don't get your BG under control??
I know these are are very early days for me (and BMI for example is still 32.8)- but some here seem to have seen a measurable reduction in BG in the FIRST week whereas I have not.
Any advice/ observations really welcome.
Rob
