Hi,
Hope this isn't too long winded but here goes ,
I was diagnosed with t2 last September hba1c -10 glucose -19.
Iv just had the results of my first blood tests and now my hba1c is 6.4 (is this good ? ) glucose 4.3
I asked my doctor ,over the phone ,if I kept going in the right direction ,could I at some point go from 3 metformin to 2 to which he replied no.that t2 was degenerative .i read here about so many people coming off meds so I was gutted to hear this. I told him I had also lost a stone and a half in weight (recently started low carb thank god ) he then said to make an appt with my (rubbish) diabetes nurse to maybe discuss lowering the dose and them monitoring me closely ! Totally confused now !
Anyone help?
