Hi all. I was recently diagnosed T2 (using the “you’re probably not T1 so take metformin and see what happens” method.... so I’m waiting on an endo referral to get antibody tests). I’m on 1000mg of metformin a day and have been restricting carbs as much as possible, as advised by my doc. No more than 25g a day, but usually less. My sugars have been between 70-90 both fasting and after meals. Haven’t even broken 100 even after fruit, a few bites of pizza etc. I’ve also been in the low 60s a few times, like last night about 5 hours after dinner. Should I be worried about these low numbers? I do feel pretty rough, but I know I could be experiencing false hypos from my BG decreasing so suddenly. I’m gonna call my doc today to check in, but I’ve learned so much in the past week from this sub, I thought I’d get some other opinions. Should I be eating more?
I’m a 25 year old female, 110 pounds. A1C was 7.0 last week. Never got a BG test prior to diagnosis (is that normal?), but a urinalysis showed >500 BG.
