[QUOTE="Monday12, post: 936305, member: 146813"] Update: went to see my GP this morning to "get my results" - I'd already seen the 36 HBA1C reading on-line. She's never seen a result so low from a patient who started where I did (diagnosed at 70.) We agreed to come off the metformin, and re-test in three months time. She said that my BC would go up a bit without it, to which I just smile to myself and think "we'll see about that!" I'm still on a low dose statin though. Frustratingly the practice nurse who drew the lood for the tests last week forgot to order the set of cholesterol tests. They were all good last time and so we halved the dose, but the GP doesn't want to do away with the med completely until she sees from a test that it's all OK. So - hurray to no more metformin! Great result. I so much dislike popping pills every day if I can avoid it. I do a fasting BC test each morning -- which I've never mentioned to my GP - so I will be able to see if stopping the metformin has much of an effect or not. [/QUOTE]
