[QUOTE="Krystyna23040, post: 2089696, member: 374421"] I agree with [USER=470000]@HarrisonK[/USER] that your best bet is to talk to your health practitioner as they may cut down the metformin. I am not on insulin anymore or any meds and love getting readings the 3s. I never correct a 3 but do monitor my BS after a 3 just to check it doesn't drop into the 2s. It never does - and even without food it will climb back into the 4s and 5s - even If I am quite active. If I was still injecting insulin - readings in the 3s could be really dangerous because injecting insulin is not an exact science and I could easily have injected too much and end up in the 2s or even lower and ended up in a coma. So I would immediately correct a 3 with glucose tablets which I carried with me all the time. Metformin is not like insulin and doesn't drop you BS in such a dramatic way but maybe your health practitioner will want you to lower the dose. [/QUOTE]
