How effective is Metformin at lowering BG?
I have recently kicked myself into touch and my recent HbA1c was 39mmol/mol, so quite pleased with that result. This was achieved through diet and exercise. I also lost a stone in weight and my BMI is now 27 instead of 30.
I already take 2,000 Metformin sr and sitigliptin. But would eventually like to ditch the tablets when I am under better control.
I don't really think that the meds have made much difference to my levels, as I seem to get better results through diet and exercise.
Has anyone ditched the meds and had good results?
