[QUOTE="bandas, post: 1535794, member: 428948"] I am glad that you could reverse your diabetes which is a great encouragement for others. However, I do not think continuing on drugs for life is a good idea. Metformin ([URL]http://www.diabetes.co.uk/insulin/diabetes-and-metformin.html[/URL]) just helps regulating/controlling the blood sugar levels which is just a symptom of diabetes but not the diabetes itself. Even if your sugars are under control, your diabetes may not be. If you ask me, I do not think we need any drug to help control sugar levels unless they are extremely out of control. With A1C score of 8.9%, I am just doing intermittent fasting and eating 1-2 low carb meals a day with 1-2 hours of exercise and my sugar levels are way under control. However, please check with your doctor before taking any decision as you seems to be on medication. Drugs should give further complications. We need to kill the diabetes but not its symptoms such as sugar levels. Check this video out, if you haven't already ([MEDIA=youtube]1a2Fsfa8e4I[/MEDIA]). Though, I am not a medical expert, based on my quick research, I am beginning to think that Cortisol resistance is the root cause of any kind of metabolic issue but I am not sure if we have any medical procedures to treat that. Do your own research and hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
