[QUOTE="Art Of Flowers, post: 1388255, member: 375067"] I have a meeting with the diabetes nurse next Tuesday and I will suggest going down to 1x500 Metformin a day once my blood sugars stabilise around 5 to 6. Last time she was suggesting that I could increase from 2 to 4 a day, but since I was getting gastric side effects I preferred not to. Metformin does seem to dehydrate me and causes me to have to get up in the middle of the night to visit the loo, which never happened before I took the drug. Consequently, I do feel a bit tired due to a disturbed sleeping pattern. I think a LCHF diet is much more effective in lowering blood sugars than Metformin and my blood sugars have reduced from 9.8 to 5.5 since that last time I saw the diabetes nurse in December. [/QUOTE]
