[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 1280725, member: 21149"] Hi. You need to know that Metformin only has a limited effect on blood sugar for T2s and the only real approach that works is a low-carb diet, so don't just rely on pills. For T2s the only serious medications if you have high excess weight are the injectables such as Victoza etc and I would try to avoid those if you can. I can almost guarantee that a weight reduction into a good BMI range will result in your diabetes going near or into pre-diabetic levels. My son went down from 19 stone to 11 stone in 9 months thru low-carbing and a lot of running - it can be done and he has stayed there! [/QUOTE]
