[QUOTE="IanD, post: 143256, member: 6186"] [b]Re: Another Metformin question.[/b] My advice is based on my experience - & I followed the advice from the experience of others. The closer we can get to non-diabetic BG the better for long term health. We are told by the professionals that diabetes is progressive - diet--tablets--more tablets--insulin--complications--- I followed the DUK advice for 8 years, maintaining a fasting BG around 6.8. I was up to 3 mf daily. I had crippling leg muscle pains & the beginning of retina damage after being good & obedient. I then came on this forum & began a reduced carb diet. Immediately my fasting BG dropped below 6. Within 3 months the pains had gone, & now after 2 years, the retinopathy has gone. The Dr was happy with my control - HbA1c=6.7 but my body was not.
