on metformin (500 mg 2x per day) have not been faithful with the checking of my bg ... just started back again today (after 4 months of not) and my BG was 185! ... decided to eat an orange thinking it had been a while since I had eaten ... and an hour later it was 187 ... I was also just recently diagnosed with Crohns Disease and put on Pentasa for that ... could that be the reason for the jump in bg? ...
Hello, So you are diabetic, and you take metformin;also you might suffer from hypertension. I don't think that Pentax can affect blood pressure, so I recommend you monitor your blood pressure 5-6 times a day for a few days and write that in a paper. You might need to start treatment for hypertension if the values are high. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
