I only started meds through ignorance. My blood glucose was 20 mmol/L on diagnosis and within 1 week without Metformin got down to 16, not knowing what on earth I was doing. But still accepted the Metformin (an error for me in hindsight, as what I was doing was working).Thank you for taking the time to post - it is really helpful on a psychological level to hear from people who are/have gone through this. At the moment I think for me, taking the metformin is like acknowledging something I really don't want to acknowledge (more head in the sand time) but I am worried that I am doing myself potentially more damage by not taking it whilst I continue on the VLCD. Anyone with similar stats who tackled this via lifestyle change/diet without resorting to meds?
Went of the Metformin and continued to get further into remission.
