[QUOTE="bulkbiker, post: 2366856, member: 219467"] I took metformin for 3 weeks of absolute hell .. tied to the loo so gave it up... that was in early November when I was diagnosed. From then on purely diet mainly keto with as few carbs as possible which led to the weight loss and drop in blood glucose. I was "fortunate" at the beginning to have a set of HbA1c tests due to a meeting with the area diabetes nurse who congratulated me on my lower blood sugars due to metformin who was most disappointed when I told her they had gone in the bin after only 3 weeks and that my progress was purely through diet. This was after she had pleasantly informed me that T2 was a chronic progressive disease and that I'd end up on insulin what ever I did. 5 years down the line I think I have proved her wrong... unfortunately she left the area not long after our meeting otherwise I'd be gleefully sending her my HbA1c results!
