Well done, that is a huge drop and a magnificent achievement. It sounds to me as though your nurse believes it is the Metformin that has done it, and that increasing the dose will help even more. I very much doubt that is the case, it will have been your hard work and diet that did it. Metformin on its own doesn't help to that extent! Congratulations.

Well done keep up the good work. How do you feel about increasing the Metformin. There is only a small difference from where you are now to where your Doctor wants you to be. If you have managed to reduce it by 59 in 6 months it might be worth holding back on the extra medication for now to see how you go. In the end it is your decision so make sure you have a proper discussion with your Dr about it and that you are completely happy about any decisions made.
Thank you - I am only on 2 tablets a day at the moment 1000mg & I know by reading on here that a lot of people are on a higher dose! I have some questions wrote down for him so will see how that goes!
