[QUOTE="ziggy_w, post: 2356924, member: 323454"] Hi [USER=440645]@gilllsmaad[/USER], In my case, the GP put me on the maximum dose of metformin initially (but admittedly my HbA1c was very high at the time), halved the dose half a year and two normal HbA1c later, and then took me off metformin altogether after one year. So, it doesn't really have to be for a long time if your numbers get better. Also remember in the end, it is pretty much up to you if and when to start medication and when to come of it -- the nurse (or any other HCP) can only recommend/advise. P.S. Keeping my fingers crossed you'll get over Covid soon with a minimum of symptoms. [/QUOTE]
