Sweetie...
Even on 1000 mg. of Glucophage, it took me about 2 weeks to get my blood sugar from an average of 250 fasting (13.8 by your scale) to consistantly below 120 (6.6) after that, it took a few more weeks to get it to be consistantly around 100 or so. My morning blood sugars stayed higher than the rest of my readings for several weeks, but eventually levelled out too.
Be patient, you are seeing improvements already but you aren't going to achieve normal readings overnight. If your readings have been that high for a while, you really don't want to get it low super fast; you'll probably feel hypo if you do so go slow and try not to be impatient.
After 19 months on low carb, my most recent HgbA1C was 5.3 without medication which my doctor is thrilled with. I'd like to see it closer to 5.0, but for now I'll take it.
