Recently diagnosed with type II diabetes and started on Metformin BID and am following a diet plan to reduce carbohydrates, sugars, and fats. Blood sugar test results are rarely below 130, is this acceptable?
Should your blood sugar results be in the normal range when taking Metformin 500 mg BID?

You might need your metformin tweeked a little. You could stand your blood sugar a little bit lower. You're not on a very high dose yet. It also might help if you exercise a little more and drink plenty of water.
