Hi..
I have been reading all the posts to me and to others... it's all very helpful.. but I have a couple questions...
I'm working very hard at trying to control my BG without meds... but... I seem to be quite consistent with my night time levels.. and frankly they are too high. The lowest I've managed to get a bedtime level is 139, but the average is around 170... and the lowest I've managed to have my wake up level is 162 (the morning after my 139 bedtime level). My average wake up is around 170-180.

I am starting to see a pattern of 'normal' readings for my before lunch, 2hrs after lunch and before dinner readings... they are 140 or below.. I've gotten as low as 102.

I've taken in all the advice about taking the meds...and I've been considering it... honest... but it still scares me.. in particularly the side effect of lactic acidosis.
My doctor has prescribed me 500mg 2 times a day... I'm curious.. does anyone just take 1 dose a day of the metformin?? I'm wondering, if I just took it at night, after dinner.. if that would help...??
Any thoughts?? Has anyone tried this??

Thanks again everyone..
