[QUOTE="KK87, post: 2243811, member: 521977"] Hi all, I'm new to this forum and Type2, have been diagnosed with diabetes in January 2020 with a reading of HB1AC - 6.6. My GP put me on Metformin - 500mg (1 a day with night meal), and was advised to reduce weight. Being from Asia I eat lot of white rice and have now changed it to brown rice and controlled the portions and reduced calorie intake. Weight: 78.1kgs when diagnosed 03-January-2020 71.5kgs 23-March-2020(same even today) I checked with my GP in February when I weighed 74.5kgs, if I can stop Metformin if I manage to put Type2 into remission but my GP said nothing is going to change even if I put into remission and I need to take metformin for life. My question after reading lot of online forums, people tend to have discontinued taking the tablet, so why my GP might suggest to take it for life? any thoughts? I was due for my readings this month but unfortunately I will not be able to, due to Coronavirus which made the situation worse for NHS. Thanks in Advance, KK [/QUOTE]
