Coming off metformin?

I have a meeting with diabetic nurse on the 15th initial hba1c was 85 latest test was 49 am taking 3x 500mlg daily have also lost 3 stone with a shed load still to go but am worried that they will reduce or stop met and i will end up back at square 1. I know it is irational as like yourself i to have the will power to make it work ......does'nt stop you from worrying though
 
Dutch1,

The only reason they would take you off Metformin is if you have bad side effects or no longer need it. It is out of patent and cheap as chips.

Your diet and weight loss have made a much bigger contribution to your BG control than Metformin.
