[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2466343, member: 196898"] Metformin has very little effect on blood sugar levels. Its main purpose is as protection against CVD events which diabetics carry at a greater risk. it also helps to improve any insulin resistance you may have. The GP will advise medication, but it is up to you to decide if you take it. Make sure your GP has tested your kidney function since Metformin is not advised if kidney function is weak. Your maintenance programme seems fine and well researched. [/QUOTE]
