I've really done it now.

Just had a conversation with my DSN. I phoned to tell her I had to stop taking metformin because of the horrible side effects and ask if they wanted to see me before my annual endo consultation. She asked several questions. Are your sugars rising. No. Are you having hypos. No. Have you increased your insulin to compensate. No actually I have reduced it by at least one third for my Humalog. Have you had a recent HbA1c done. Yes it's gone down from 60 to 50 in 10 weeks. Are you putting on weight. No I've lost just over a stone. Confused silence for a few moments and then just carry on what you are doing and we will see you in September. Any problems just give us a ring. Thank you I said. What I didn't tell her was I have been on LCHF diet!

My GP and nurse asked me last week how I'd massively dropped HBA1C from in the 80's to my latest one at 41 last week. Told them I had reduced my carbs and low carbing. They were both very impressed and supportive Well done on your progress I too am unable to tolerate any type of metformin so refuse to take it x
