Hi Michelle
Met XR is a time release form, wich mean if your body doesnt need to block
the insulin (which from what you've said about you diet and exercise) it
wont work, you will just pass the met xr..my endo told me that alot of
people have that effect when low carbing with metxr plus you would get
normal blood results....so I suggest you switch to regular met..Hope this
helps
