[QUOTE="Shawn14564, post: 2128974, member: 514161"] Full story; I am a 39 year old male, overweight but otherwise in good health. I had routine bloodwork in mid August, fasting blood glucose came in at 178mg/dL. Not good. Next test was the a1c, that was 8.4% (in American terms). Not good! Doctor put me on metformin, 1000mg/day. I never took it. Instead, I started a 1400 calorie a day diet combined with daily cardio exercise. Less than a month later my fasting glucose is 118-121 in the mornings. Not perfect but better. I’ve also lost 10 pounds (4.5kg) so far. My goal, possibly unreasonable but worth trying, is to lose 45 pounds (20kg), with daily exercise and diet, to see the if I can put this into full remission without medication. Any comments, thoughts are welcome! Thanks for having me! Shawn [/QUOTE]
