[QUOTE="catinahat, post: 2490877, member: 155453"] Congratulations [USER=544833]@AnnM99[/USER] your hard work with your diet is obviously paying off Your surgery is reacting exactly as I would expect, after all it's your diabetes not theirs.You are just one of hundreds or even thousands of patients on their books, if your blood results had shown anything to be concerned about I'm sure they would have contacted you. Looks like you have discovered what many other have, metformin has very little impact on glucose levels and your success in lowering your HbA1c is mainly down to your dietary changes. However before you decide to continue with it or not, a couple of thoughts. If you can tolerate it without experiencing the unfortunate side effects some people get, it can help by restricting the amount of glucose released by your liver and it helps a little with insulin resistance. I also believe taking it can have other benefits not directly related to diabetes. The other thing to bear in mind is that a T2 prescribed medication will get all prescriptions free with a valid medical exemption certificate. Un medicated T2's have to pay like everyone else under 60 [/QUOTE]
