[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 2307864, member: 6467"] If you read the NICE treatment pathways, the T2 pathway always starts with Metformin because it is almost all upside and very little downside. Metformin helps to lower insulin resistance, to reduce glucose production by the liver and suppress appetite. If Metformin is not enough to control your BG then other medications are added but Metformin is usually retained as part of the treatment. So, please consult your health care team, but I would suggest that persevering with the Metformin is a sensible option. As others have said, you seem to be on a lot of medication. It would help us to help you if you explained your regular diet. A diet for fitness and performance in a non-diabetic might be radically different from a diet suitable for a T2 diabetic. [/QUOTE]
