[QUOTE="Mep, post: 1233597, member: 211362"] I managed to stay away from meds for the first 7 years of being diabetic. I finally agreed to the oral meds as everything I had tried wasn't working and I was concerned as I have heart disease in my family and didn't want to risk just continuing on with high sugar.... my hbA1c was 9.2% from memory and so that was when I agreed to take meds. I was on oral meds of all sorts for the next 5 years until they stopped working as well. They found out why too and it's because I don't produce sufficient insulin and need to be on insulin to manage my diabetes. So they took me off oral meds and said there was no point continuing with them as you need your own insulin for them to work. So see how you go with diet adjustments if you haven't tried any adjustments recently and if you still can't get it to work, then it's worth trying the metformin. See how you go. I wish you the best. :) [/QUOTE]
