Why does my blood sugar spike to over 200 two hours after lunch and dinner, even though my fasting and before-meal levels are normal while taking Glycomet SR 500 twice a day?
Your Glycomet SR (metformin sustained release) is working well to manage these baseline levels. However, post-meal spikes over 200 mg/dL suggest that your body needs additional support handling the immediate carbohydrate load from lunch and dinner. This is common, as metformin primarily manages baseline glucose. I recommend tracking what you eat, focusing on lower-carb meals, and discussing this pattern with your doctor. They may suggest adjusting your metformin dose or adding a medication that specifically targets post-meal glucose spikes.
