[QUOTE="ladybird64, post: 912349, member: 29023"] No idea why that would be happening, Metformin doesn't usually do that (doesn't make a lot of difference to bg levels anyway but does have other benefits). I'll stick my neck out and say that if his levels are between 5 and 6 without Metformin, why take it? There are a lot of us here (myself included), who refused the usual Metformin/statins combo that is often prescribed when somebody is diagnosed. Cutting down significantly on carbohydrate ie bread, pasta, rice and potatoes (even so called brown "healthy" versions) make the biggest difference to levels. If the aim is lower levels which means better control, I wouldn't rock the boat if it were me. Only my opinion though (and one that diabetic nurses often disagree with;)). [/QUOTE]
