[QUOTE="Jay-Marc, post: 1331309, member: 327284"] The recommended initial course of treatment is still 'control by diet only' - however, they may have considered that you need some extra help, based on your previous experience of losing weight but largely regaining it. There is no reason why though if you are determined enough you cannot do this - although don't see the likes of Metformin as some kind of an initial defeat as in itself it is only an aid. It is your choice. The mistake would be Metformin and carrying on with your past diet, which unfortunately is what many people (not you) seem to end up doing. 70 mmol/mol is not exceptionally high on initial diagnosis - many will be in excess of 100. Change in diet can bring this quite substantially. [/QUOTE]
