Message: <blockquote data-quote="NoMoreBeerAnymore" data-source="post: 2676369" data-attributes="member: 584156">Hi,I got diagnosed 3 weeks ago with a HBA1c of 120, after my annual health MOT at my GP.  My BMI had got up to 35, as I have had to work double shifts the last six months and never had time to either eat properly or exercise.  This has stopped because I can't do that anymore.  I was breaking out in a Cold sweat every day, usually an hour after eating, and feeling extremely anxious (more than usual) and exhausted, plus I got urinary infection which was truly miserable.So I am on a low-carb diet (mostly Mosely 800), which I am finding easy to follow.   However, I am also Fasting until 2 pm because it is too much hassle to eat in the morning.I am not having a problem with taking Metformin with coffee before work, and then keeping going until 2 pm.    This should keep my circulating levels of Metformin steady, so when I do eat its not going to give me high blood glucose?I intend to keep this going until I have a BMI of 20, having lost 5 kg already.Is taking metformin going to stop my weight loss?Should keep taking my metformin?[Edited by moderator to remove emoji]</blockquote>
