[QUOTE="Rachox, post: 2422803, member: 400972"] I’m four years from my type 2 diagnosis. I started Metformin on diagnosis when my HbA1c was 70 and (apart from the first week or so) I don’t get any unwanted side effects. My HbA1cs have been in the 30s since four months after diagnosis. Metformin has helped me control my blood sugars along side a low carb diet and it curbs my appetite so helped with losing a shed load of weight. I did reduce the dose once but my average blood sugars rose by a little bit and my weight loss stalled. I like to keep my HbA1c well down into the non diabetic range as this gives me a margin for error should something occur to raise my blood sugars, like Covid, which I’m just recovering from or a few surgeries over the past couple of years. It also mean I don’t have to compromise my diet further than I already have. [/QUOTE]
