A member asked:
Over the past month every week i have checked my fasting blood sugar. (first thing in the morning before eating anything.) my average is 7.4. what would you recommend i do? thanks

Blood sugar: 7.4 mmol/L fasting is 132 mg/dl. If that is your average fasting blood sugar you have documented that you have diabetes mellitus. This can reverse if you are overweight and lose weight. Metformin is a great medication that treats diabetes mellitus and helps people lose weight. Speak to your doctor you need an eye examination and foot examination besides regular medical care
