[QUOTE="elram, post: 2354610, member: 107770"] I would like to come off my metformin, currently prescribed 1000mg X2 daily, but reluctant to approach Dr. Queried once before about cutting down or stopping and was told 'they do other things as well'. At the moment changing diet and using an old box of metformin 500 x 2 per day. Readings 7.7 morning and 2 hours later 11.0, breakfast was, home made split pea and sweet potato soup with one slice of wholemeal home made bread. Been on Metformin since 1996. Normal average is usually around 6.o. This sounds really silly but feel so brainwashed into believing all hell will break loose if I cut down, suppose confidence is lacking in ones body as opposed to popping the tablets. Next time I shall cut out the sweet potato..... Thoughts would be appreciated thanks. [/QUOTE]
