just wanted to update what's been going on with my Type 2....I was diagnosed in July or August (don't remember exactly) -- to begin with I was taking 2-glyb/metformin 5/500 each day -- because my numbers were still high she added 500 mg of metformin at bedtime.

My morning and evening numbers before the first of the year were always in the 130- 140 range but once I started Atkins they started coming down in the evening. Last week (last of February) I had an appointment with my endocrinologist. She looked at my numbers for January and February and felt my fasting numbers were still too high but my evening numbers were great. My medicine has changed - now I take 1 glyb/metformin 5/500 in the morning and 1 1000 mg metformin at bedtime. We'll see if this makes a great change. So far (7 days) my numbers have been under 100 on 1 morning but not more than 116 in the morning...will update next time.

Ooops -- had to edit this post. I forgot to say my doctor was very happy with my 16 pound weight loss (according to her scales) since I had been there 3 months ago. I have lost more than that (according to my household scale and with considerably less clothes than at the the office) but I'll take 16 pounds on her records....next time (4 months from now) that number will be higher and hopefully my meds will be adjusted again!
