Hi
I have been on 2x 750mg SR Metformin for over a year now. Had my HbA1c just over a week ago and it came back at 5.5 - The nurse thinks this is too low so told me to stop taking meds immediately. Meaning I can manage myself on diet and exercise alone.
I have done this, but I havent felt right at all since then.
I have been doing some random blood tests on foods I know I can eat these past few days and where I would eat low gi toast for brekkie, getting a reading of maybe 5.8, 2 hours later, Im now getting readings of 8.8. Morning readings have also risen to around 7.2.
Also, as I said I just dont feel well, I feel anxious and shaky a lot, and I keep forgetting things, Is this some type of withdrawal do you think? Im very tempted to start taking the metformin again and might just go to see my doctor next week and maybe cut down on them, instead of stopping immediately.
Can anyone offer some advice?
