Morning all, a 9.2 for me today. Not in the office today as I'm off to the Excel centre for the safety and health expo. I'm only going for the freebies!
That's a great number Martin. As you are on metformin only there is practically no risk of going too low 🙂 If you continue to get good numbers like this though it's probably worth a chat with the GP/nurse about whether you need the medication 🙂 Good work!It was a 4.6 this am for me, is that getting too low should I be aiming for the house special 5.2 or is it the lower the better as long as it stays above 4 ??
4.6 is okay Martin...I wouldn't say it's anything to worry about...you should be aiming for the best you can do...there's nothing wrong with that number.It was a 4.6 this am for me, is that getting too low should I be aiming for the house special 5.2 or is it the lower the better as long as it stays above 4 ??
Snap again AJ 🙂An absolutely lovely 6.0 this morning 🙂
I'm on a reducing diet just now to lose a bit more weight I'm reluctant to give up Metformin just now as concerned my BGs might go up when I come off the diet..That's a great number Martin.

Yay Vince 🙂Snap again AJ 🙂
Martin...there's no need to give up the Metformin right now...discuss it with your GP...then when you and they are ready you can discuss reducing it...I'm not sure how much you are taking?...it's not only about getting the right numbers...it's maintaining them that's the objective...I reduced my use of Metformin over time...always after discussion with my GP...you're doing fine.I'm on a reducing diet just now to lose a bit more weight I'm reluctant to give up Metformin just now as concerned my BGs might go up when I come off the diet..
Bloden I willingly send you some of ours...it's sweltering here...the sun is so bright I have to leave the curtains closed otherwise I can't see the laptop screen.Hi there.🙂 8.9 here.
Hubby’s off to Spain today - I’ll get him to send some sunshine our way!😛
You lucky little vampire, you.Bloden I willingly send you some of ours...it's sweltering here...the sun is so bright I have to leave the curtains closed otherwise I can't see the laptop screen.
It was sweltering last night...not complaining of course...just trying to adjust to the warmer weather...is it my imagination or do my BG's rise with the increasing temperatures.You lucky little vampire, you.😎
3 x 500mg per day, sorry using the medical abbreviation tds, I forget not everyone knows themMartin...there's no need to give up the Metformin right now...discuss it with your GP...then when you and they are ready you can discuss reducing it...I'm not sure how much you are taking?...it's not only about getting the right numbers...it's maintaining them that's the objective...I reduced my use of Metformin over time...always after discussion with my GP...you're doing fine.
Just under the maximum dose Martin...depending on what your next review reveals your GP may want to discuss a reduction...any change to your medication should only be after a discussion with s/he...I discussed reducing my Metformin with my GP...who agreed to leave the prescription open for the time being...as I reduced the dosage I tested...watched for a rise...if that did happen then I could simply order the Metformin again...think about how you would prefer to approach any change to your regime...when we do reduce or stop taking Metformin it can take several weeks before we know what effect it has...good luck...be interested to hear how it goes.3 x 500mg per day
