Welcome to the forum, brownie51.
It's a combination of diet (controlling carbohydrate and perhaps calories, too), exercise, perhaps reducing body weight (if overweight) and perhaps medication (if needed).
What's prompted "have to test myself for a few weeks"?
 
i go to the gym and have lost weight,down to 9 stone,have been on metformin for 2 yrs,now my sugars have goneup,im wondering if i dont drink regurlarly this might be a cause,being feeling anxious and lightheaded,had blood test my blood glucose was 13,so doctor given me test kit to test my sugars before and after meals,might keep a diary of food to see if i can see what triggers it
