Blood Sugar Optimizer I am on metaformin and didn't want to go in insulin so thought this might help and it has. I'm fresh out of ideas. I've lowered the dose, so the bottle lasts longer but its stil dificult to pay for it each month. But, I haven't had a job in 8 months and it's getting difficult to afford my medications and supplements. The big thing is to monitor the sugar levels, both before starting AND after. is right on target. Also decrease in carb craving.
