I try to keep it no higher than 140 after meals. For fasting it is usually about 110, sometimes in the 90s.

I received my Accu-Chek meter yesterday. I am amazed at how painless the lancet device is with the Accu-Chek meter. I am very happy with it.

Also, Xigduo is a combo drug. It contains Metformin XR and Farxiga. The benefit is I only need to manage one drug rather than two. However the Xigduo is a giant pill, not the easiest to swallow.
