Hi guys,
As some of you might have heard somewhere or from someone, there seems to be many articles and speeches by doctors informing the public that type 2 diabetes drugs such as metformin are doing more harm than good. They claimed that these drugs are only treating the symptoms and not the root cause of diabetes.
Can i just have some insight on this? To cut the story short, i was diagnosed with type 2 earlier this year in august. Started to take 1000mg of metformin and 100mg of sitagliptin daily in september till present. I have to say that the drugs have effectively lowered my blood glucose be it fasting or post meals. Just that my concern now is whether it is dangerous to continue them or should i find ways to come off the drugs completely.
Best Wishes & Regards,
Justis
