[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1054820, member: 196898"] Metformin is prescribed for other reasons than just bgl reduction. It is recognised as having general benefit in terms of cardiac protection, and other areas that affect us PWD's. It is .the safest of the diabetes medications, and you should ask advice on the overall picture before removng the Metformin. it will not have much of an effect on bgl if you did stop it anyway. Since you have only just started LCHF, it may be too early to make major changes to your meds. Get used to the diet long term, and monitor how you do after stopping the other med. Also, monitor your weight, and also your lipid panel, since these may change (hopefully in the right direction). [/QUOTE]
