I started taking Starlix because I was still spiking over 140 even though my fasting numbers were around 100 and I’m carbing below 40 a day.
I started by taking 60mg because I like to start light to see if I’m going to get any physical problems, I didn’t. I also wasn’t getting that much better than what my low carbing and exercise was getting done.
Today I went to 120 mg to try at get better results. I tried a different food for breakfast and spiked to 190. This gets me to believing that if you start taking Starlix in hopes of easing up on the carbs, I don’t think you’ll be happy.
It says that you should take Starlix and wait 30 mins to give it time to take hold. I did this and took readings at the 30 min mark and found a drop of around 15 and once it even rose.
(Don’t you wish we had meters with better accuracy?)
I decided to try something different this time. I took Starlix and took the reading at 30 mins. The drop was about 15. I then took it at 60 mins and was down about 30. I ate and took my spike about an hour later and found myself at 130. I’m going to keep doing this with the thought that Starlix doesn’t work very fast and that I need to get down before I eat.
