[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2627105, member: 372207"] I think if it were me, I would look into my reasons to take either medication. To start with the metformin: You used it for years while having a very much non diabetic hba1c. So what was your reason for taking it? Is that reason still there? Have you ever done without during those years to see what difference it made? When you started Victoza, you stopped the metformin. Why was that? I don't know much about Victoza but does it have the same benefits as metformin? You got the Victoza to help with your weight, but I doubt any HCP would have thought you needed it for your diabetes, considering your hba1c for the past 6 years. Have you considered the possibility that going off medication can be a scary thing? It can feel very safe to have that ritual of taking medication to keep the nasties away, especially in daunting times. Could this be the cause of it all going round and round in your head? [/QUOTE]
