I have cut my Metformin dose by half (500 instead of 1000 per day) and definitely feel hungrier but not anything like the ravenous hunger I have experienced in the past when eating "healthy" carbs. I'll be cutting out the remaining Metformin pill after my next HbA1c test at the end of April. My bloods have been in the non-diabetic readings since October, a month after diagnosis, but Nursie won't accept the finger-prick tests, only the Hb-etc figures which include the time I was forced to eat a high-carb hospital diet.
