[QUOTE="pixie1, post: 2217847, member: 114097"] Your A1c was only 58 and you were put on metformin straight away. It goes to show how GPS medicate unnecessary. Poor you, when you could have lowered it on low carb within 3 months. For you, 4 years down the line its only 49 on metformin. Goes to show how its not that good. And being told you be on it for life. You had no chance. It's up to you, your decision, Low carb and ditch the metformin when your numbers come down or right away. If you are low carbing, eating more meat and fat, then you feel full longer, eat less, one of the reasons why weight loss happens. The brain is hardwired to switch on the fullness mechanism, with meats and fats, rather than carbs, that's why eating carbs temporarily make you feel full, then crash after a short time Hungary again. My HbA1c was 53 on diagnosis, yours was only a little higher than mine. I switched my diet over to lchf, i had to think long and hard over this, because of my family medical history on my paternal side and was absolutely nervous, taking into consideration the results of my profile of my blood results, they were dire, gp's only tell you what the person needs to know, not the full facts. I had to ask for a full print out and analyse it myself. 3 months down the line, doing the absolute opposite of being told, I brought my HbA1c down to 49, blood profile looked much healthier, every single test was lower. With all this mantra, it should not have happened, should have deteriorated. 6 years down the line it was, I think 36, not bad considering I havnt seen the diabetic nurse or Gp about my diabetes. When they say carbs are not the demon, I beg to differ. [/QUOTE]
