[QUOTE="Sam50, post: 1747844, member: 419035"] I think the decision whether or not to take drugs is a personal one. Metformin does cause massive digestive issues for many people and is known to only lower BG by a little (although it may have other protective benefits) Hubby never said that he wouldn't take it but that he preferred to try diet and lifestyle changes first to see if the required outcomes could be achieved naturally-without pharmaceuticals. Drugs are always a fallback position,:) So far his DN is very pleased with the progress he is making. From what I have read on here it seems that Metformin is prescribed to everyone who is diagnosed as T2. I am surprised that you had to fight for it- out of curiosity what was your HbA1C when you were diagnosed ? [/QUOTE]
