[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 515343, member: 88961"] [B]-[/B] Scandi - I have read your fuller write up on the other thread, but wanted to reply in context here. I have had several , mid 3 readings, and only once felt a bit odd. First time, I assumed my body hadn't appreciated the latest notch down in bs, but subsequently discovered that what I was feeling was a reaction to filter coffee, which I rarely have these days. But, have you seriously considered trying to manage on diet only? I am evangelical about staying off meds, as it just wouldn't suit my current lifestyle, and I [I]know[/I] I would try less hard not knowing whether I was making the difference, or if the meds were working, irrespective of my efforts. Now, we both know the reality of what would be happening, but this condition doesn't always take us down the logical route, in my experience. You already adopted LCHF and have achieved decent core blood score reductions. You should feel proud of that. Maybe have an HbA1c done to benchmark the move back to med-free, then you have a line to work from? Doing without Metformin might just liberate you a bit? Clearly I have no medical basis for suggesting this, but as it is an option presented to you, it could be worth a couple of hours head space? I do hope you feel better tomorrow, when the stress of work has eased for a few weeks, at least. [/QUOTE]
