Well, as I'd been taking 1700 mg. a day...

I'm now on day 8 and have lost 12 lbs, and for the last three days, my numbers have been in the 120s or lower. Tonight they were in the 100s after dinner.

I've never seen them that low, and it's freaking me out!

Can anyone offer some advice?

Thanks in advance!

Congratulations on your 12 pounds gone forever!
It would be a great idea to inform your doctor of your lifestyle change if you havn't done so already. Atkins is a very healing woe expecially for Type-2 Diabetics and it will balance out glucose levels and reverse Type-2 Diabetes. I know because it did and has done so for me the entire time i've been in this lifestyle.(5 years) My Diabetes reversed 47 days into Atkins and hasn't been an issue since.
I would recommend you get in touch with your doctor so he can start reducing your Metforim. You'll be kicking those to the curb soon once your glucose levels stablize to healthy levels and your Diabetes will be controled by Atkins alone. I kicked two types of Diabetes medication to the curb because of the healing effect of this woe(way of eating). I get my lab done every 12 weeks and have an excellent A1c each time.
Congratulations and welcome to the healthiest lifesyle there is.
Wishing you the best of health and lite.
