Fantastic result Carpcatcher. I'd be over the moon if I could get to this stage. Sorry if you've already given out the details (I've just returned to the forum after a long absence) but can you tell me a little about your relationship with your doctor, whether you agreed an HbA1c target to come off Metformin and, if so, what that target was set at. Also, what was your final HbA1c and what was the peak?

I totally understand if you don't want to publish some or all of this. Just say.
