[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2608653, member: 196898"] Althouh Metformin is a useful drug for diabetes, its effect on blood glucose levels is very small.and will do little to reduce the levels declared in the OP. Metformin is a protection medication for the heart and cardiovascular system as a whole, but its glucose lowering properties are in the order of just a couple of mmol/l even at max dose. I think the original aim of going Low Carb possibly with some fasting should produce improvement for the OP, but Trulicity is for weight loss by inducing ketosis, and is contraindicated with low carb diet. There is a small risk of euDKA with the Glutide family of meds as we have had reports on this Forum. Edit correction for Trulicity family name. [/QUOTE]
