[QUOTE="Guzzler, post: 1925180, member: 408573"] You state the possibility that a vegan diet may acheive the same results without the use of Metformin but veganism is just one approach that may work. There are other dietary approaches that work having the same results i.e people may be able to stop using Metformin or may see positive results before even being prescribed the drug. This is my own personal opinion but if on a vegan diet I am forced to look at taking supplements that is little different to taking a proprietary drug. I have taken Metformin since diagnosis and have had no problems with it at all. As my A1c improved (with LCHF plus Met) my dosage was lowered. Having said that, I have made a conscious decision to stop taking the drug by the end of the year, I will be looking carefully at the changes, if any, that occur and I may then rethink my decision. The reason I plan to do this is because I wish to reduce the number of medications I take overall and/or reduce dosages. I would not wish to replace those drugs with supplements. [/QUOTE]
