[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1000217, member: 196898"] Hi, the ADA reports a bigger efficacy at 1%-2% change in HbA1c (11-22 mmol.L) but states the results are not fully validated. However, most sites I found show this is achieved by the action of Metformin on the liver and intestine to block the conversion of carbs into glucose in the blood. I.E. it happens before the glucose meter would register it. Thus Metformin is unlikely to drop your bgl into hypo territory by itself unless you really starve yourself, whixh holds for virtually all diets.. [/QUOTE]
