Well my doctor was cautious and has recommended only a reduction in Metformin in stages with an HBa1C blood test once every three months instead of the usual six. Lisinopril is protecting the kidneys. Stopping statins and aspirin not a wise option apparently. I am encouraged by AtkinsMo's assertion that the LCHF diet can in time improve the GERD as I am on the maximum dose of the Lansopazole and Ranitadine. I have tried reducing but the reflux returns. But hopefully in time then it may improve, I'll keep trying. I found the text of some of Richard Bernstein's words of wisdom. A snippet I picked up is that increasing the blood flow to your feet can help repair the peripheral neuropathy and reduce the numbness especially at night when is worst. This can be achieved by raising the head end of the bed by up to 6 inches which allows gravity to assist the process. Has anyone tried this?
