[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2490766, member: 506169"] Whether to continue with the 1000mg or to reduce it is up to you and really depends upon how you feel about metformin. Some people are happy to stay on 500mg or 1000 mg of metformin even with an HbA1C of less than 40 and some people prefer to take as few medications as possible. Your GP can only give their own advice on that. Many GP surgeries seem both surprised and even embarrassed when a patient does as well as you have. It is still rare and from what I see of your other posts, you have done it by generally going against their advice, so although it would be nice if they congratulated you, just be thankful that they aren't saying something like 'You must eat more carbs or you will kill yourself!'
