Just back from diabetes medication review. Having managed to loose 1 1/2 stone my sugars are down so much I can stop insulin and victoza.
Also much reduced dose of metformin and no more Janvia.
For me this is brilliant if I can loose another stone I may be able to stop all medication.

That is a shame that you couldn't stay off them for longer but at the very least if was a break. How long were you med free for?
