[QUOTE="Dennis, post: 53184, member: 1338"] Hi Mark, You obviously had quite a high degree of insulin resistance initially, which is what metformin is designed to help reduce. But weight loss and exercise has an even bigger impact on lowering insulin resistance than metformin does. It is the weight loss and extra exercise that has allowed your GP to drop you to what is now a pretty low dose of metformin and, if you hadn't taken the metformin, it probably wouldn't have made a huge difference to the 1 hour reading, but would have slowed the rate at which you came back down to a normal level.
