[QUOTE="SheilaN, post: 929889, member: 202542"] My partner was 8.2 this morning and 8.6 yesterday morning. I took him to his endocrinologist two days ago to say that his BGL were getting higher and higher in the mornings, although hardly moved up after food. After five days of climbing morning BGLs, despite walking, low carb diet and reduced portions, I consulted his endocrinologist, who suggested he weight-lift light weights for ten minutes before bed. Walking for over an hour effected little change all day yesterday. He lifted light weights for ten minutes before bed. After that he found that his BGL was slightly over 10! Today after waking to 8.2, he drank coffee then more drinks and went out walking for hours. When he came back, his BGL had come down to 5.6 - second time ever since we have been testing. He ate nothing until about 2pm. He is on a low carbohydrate diet; he eats no bread, rice, potatoes, pasta and only vegetables that are not starchy, and very few nuts. The endocrinologist has given me a script for metformin if my partner's BGLs remain so high after two weeks. Are we being extreme in trying to keep the BGLs as low as possible by any means (i.e. dilution, not eating and exercise?) I'm afraid that the glucose will keep rising and do him damage. [/QUOTE]
