| I have diabetes type 2, and I'm on metformin one a day. I’m on a diet and I watch what I eat. My morning blood sugar can get up to 150s and rest of day stays in the teens do I need to go on more meds? My a1c is 6.2. | ||||||

The morning blood glucose depends on the timing and composition of the previous day's evening meal.
Plan to eat a large breakfast, satisfying lunch and light supper . Lunch and supper should be rich in vegetables. Breakfast should include an egg. The food is best consumed and digested between the hours of 4 AM and 4 PM. Metformin should be taken after the evening meal.
You have a good hemoglobin A1c score. With the proper meal planning I would expect your HbA1c will soon be less than 6 %.
