[QUOTE="chalup, post: 1338471, member: 306126"] What do you expect metformin to do? It's main effect is to reduce liver dumps. It really does not do much about counteracting your diet. If you are eating less than 50 grams of carb per day and your A1c is going up then it is time to talk to your doctor about having a c-peptide test done. This will tell you how much insulin your body is producing. If you are not producing much any more you may be headed for injected insulin, if you are producing too much like most type 2 diabetics then you need to address diet. Either way this test will give you the information you need to make informed decisions with your doctor instead of blindly throwing meds at the problem. If your doctor won't order it you can have it done privately. [/QUOTE]
