[QUOTE="Freema, post: 1672285, member: 329519"] After getting my numbers down in a normal range and having an Hb1Ac of 34-35 for almost a year my GP wanted me off of metformin , and I just stopped now and it seems my numbers are almost as low as when I was on 2 x 850mg metformin Daily .... But the next blood test will show more clearly . I also wanted to stop it because I am on levothyroxine as my thyroid gland is killed and my GP halved my dose , and metformin is know to tamper with the TSH hormon so it looks like ones metabolism is much higher than it actually is , and as I am gaining weight rapidly I guess my metabolism is not as High as she Think it is , so hopefully it will show at next blood sample so she dont keep pusling my metabolism lower and lower by lowering the levothyroxin , so we are all reacting differently to metformin some get very bad sideeffects others dont , I did feel no problem when just stopping from one day to the other [/QUOTE]
