[QUOTE="TooManyCrisps, post: 1119989, member: 244689"] Thanks to everyone for their views, it seems the jury is out. I will watch the video and do some more reading around it. I'm not ruling anything out but I am tempted to do what [USER=219467]@bulkbiker[/USER] suggests, carry on trying to get my levels down and then review in 3 months depending on the HBA1C result. Funnily enough, I was quite prepared for being told i needed Metformin when I went into the appointment, and would probably have (reluctantly) accepted it had the reading been, say, 70. But knowing how hard I've worked and finding I'm so close to an acceptable result means I want to carry on without meds. On the other hand, if Metformin preserves my pancreatic function for a bit longer..... decisions decisions. Thanks also for your congratulations and good wishes. I could not have achieved what I have without all the advice and information I've gained from people like yourselves on this forum [/QUOTE]
