I was recently prescribed gluemetza for type 2 diabetes does that mean i still need to watch my sugar?

Yes: There is a saying in diabetes care as follows: you can out eat the effect of any medication for diabetes, including insulin. Eating the proper diet is still the most important way to control diabetes, regardless of what medication you take. Glumetza is a helpful addition to help manage diabetes but you still need to consume a low carbohydrate/starch diet, lose weight if overweight, and exercise.

Yes: Glumetza is metformin. I suggest checking your blood glucose level fasting on days 1-7 each month. If the glucose rises above 140 tell your doctor.
