My GP rang out of the blue and said beacuse my HBA1C is 40 ( Been on Atkins diet prior to blood test)
That I am cured and can come off metformin. I wouldn't agree to it without consideration, so then he said drop to one 500 a day, but again I said I would have to cosider it.
I do go above 8 after meals not too much though.
forgive me but my logic is, 1 I work very hard on a low carb diet I cut out bread potatoes alcohol except special occassions. Also doesnt it mean the tablets are working? If I am doing well on this format levels are low risks are low then I should be well for many years.
If I come off them and start having spikes and levels are high then I can be risking good health.
I feel mre stressed about it now than I did when first diagnosed 5 years ago.
My exemption cert expired in Nov...
