That's interesting that your numbers are >still so low! > Sonnet, It seems like other times I've had my blood sugars taken (in years past) my numbers have been mostly in the 70's. So, they were never really high to begin with, but at least in normal range. Today when my doctor talked to me, he couldn't figure out what to do. All he could tell me was that he still thought I shouldn't be on the glucophage, and that I should get a glucometer to document what my levels get to during my "episodes". He couldn't explain the weird 5-pound weight gain in five days after stopping glucophage, and losing most of it within 24 hours after beginning glucophage again. Do you happen to know what kinds of things could lower a person's blood sugar level? Thanks for the response, Jessica
