Metformin

I find that a the improvement from a low carb diet completely swamps any benefit I get from Metformin. If your numbers are still high I would think there is something wrong with the diet or perhaps something else going on. With that in mind I doubt you will be able to see the effect of Metformin. If you can't find a diet answer to the problem then maybe it's DN time.

Your dosage of metformin is ?
How many grams of carbs /day are you eating.

FYI, I need to go down to 20-25 grams carbs/day to get decent results. Even then, it took quite a long time to see improvements.
