So my bloods have been between 6-7 before meals and between 8-9 after , but for the last 2 days I have been taking 200mg of lipoc acid after my meals when my bloods have been highest and it has brought my blood down to about 5 within about 1 hour is this too quickly to drop that far ?
 
I had to look this up, @Lisaa! I'd say as long as you are not dropping too low i.e below 4.0 at any point then it shouldn't be anything to worry about - have your tried testing at 2 hours after as well? Are you on any medication for your diabetes?
 
No not tested 2 hours after, will try that tomorrow I am on 2x 500 metformin , 15mg pioglizone and 5mg saxagliptin , plus I am trying now to cut carbs ,
