As newly diagnosed in august with a bs level of 119 mmol, I asked for advice on how to lower my bs as the info I was reading was quite conflicting. On the advice of a few people I kept my carb intake to below 130g a day and with the help of metformin my bs last week was down to 47mmol and 2.5 st lighter. Newbie’s to the site are lucky to have the advice of the people in the forums. I’d like to say a big thank you to all who posted
