Hiya
I just wanted to pick some brains and see if anyone has shared a similar experience to me! I am 29, type 2 dx 2008. Have been taking Metformin since May last year but I think it is starting to work against me. This probably sounds a bit weird - I seem to be having side effects which aren't mentioned in the leaflet. My HBA1C is coming down and I am lowcarbing and exercising every day (it was my own fault it went up in the first place). I currently take 4 a day but wonder if that might be too much for me now. My body just seems to be working against me.
Getting my bloods done tomorrow then going to see doctor next week for meds review. I just wondered if anyone has came off meds before to go back to diet and exercise only and how open to this their doctor was. Will they likely just change me to something else or tell me just to put up with it?
I know my questions will be answered by the doc in the next few days but I just want to get my head straight before I speak to the doctor!
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Many thanks
