My Hba1c was 78 in March and with a low carb diet was at 37 in September. I have also lost almost 4 stone. Like you I could not tolerate Metformin in any form. I did have Dapagliflozin for a couple of months but soon stopped it. I now eat very low carb (under 25g per day) and am doing some fasting too. Do you have a blood glucose meter (I self fund one as the GP surgery were set against type 2's having them.)  I found that really helpful to know what food causes my blood glucose to shoot up and what doesn't. We are all different. Have a read round on this site and ask questions in my experience they are a friendly bunch with lots of experience and will probably have faced any problem already and have an answer to it!</p></blockquote><p></p>
