[QUOTE="Dobbs, post: 94294, member: 18601"] There's no doubt in my mind that Metformin helps, certainly initially. When I was diagnosed T2 my fasting blood sugar was 17.6 and after two weeks on 2x500 Metformin it was 8.6, and that's without any other real changes - this was before I knew anything at all about diabetes treatment. My fasting levels have continued to come down since then, these days generally in the 6s. I sometimes wonder how much Metformin does for me now, after a year, because I don't *just* treat my diabetes with Metformin any more - I've also lost weight, and have been low-carbing and generally eating less for some months now. Luckily enough I had no real Metformin side-effects to speak of. [/QUOTE]
