[QUOTE="Maggie75, post: 2422349, member: 532798"] Hi everyone and thank you for your replies, I've spoken to GP today, it was about another matter but I asked about the Metformin and he explained because they now considered me non-diabetic that's why they would be reluctant to prescribe me more but if I felt my diet wasn't great he'll happily give me a short supply until I know what's happening with my HBA1C, I'll book the HBA1C test for next week to get it as close to the 3 months as possible and I suppose I'll know then what damage has been done by my 2+ months of unhealthy eating. I don't take any contraindicated medication, the only thing I take in thyroxine for under active thyroid and I still have over 2 stone to lose to get to a healthy weight (had lost 40 pounds in 6 months through low carb which was how I reduced HBA1C to 36). The reason I wanted to stay on Metformin was that my DN told me initially it would help with weight loss, and I really want to shift this 2 stone but I know I need to change my eating and drinking habits really in order to do that. GP I spoke to today was delighted with last HBA1C and told me effectively I had reversed my diabetes and that the Metformin in the quantity I was taking it would have contributed very little so that cheered me up a lot! Although I don't consider myself to have reversed my diabetes with one good HBA1C result, here's hoping the next one won't be too bad and I can get back to healthy low carb eating. Thanks again.
