[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1414108, member: 94045"] Hi, Very well done on that tremendous weight loss! That is brilliant. :) As the others have said, Metformin accumulates in your body and works on the liver to help a little with insulin resistance and to reduce the amount of natural glucose the liver produces, although only to a limited extent. It isn't related to your food intake at all. The only reason you are told to take it before meals is to stop you feeling sick with stomach problems. I also agree with [USER=100904]@Pipp[/USER] that your HbA1c is too high and needs bringing down, but you obviously know this or you wouldn't be asking for help. I wonder if we can help you with your food? Perhaps tell us what you typically eat in a day and we may spot something that could help. [/QUOTE]
