[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1481985, member: 41816"] Thanks AB. It may be worth me pushing for Metformin again then. I have been asking for it for years, but no one will give it to me because (they say) my HbA1c is too low to justify it. Last time I asked I was told 'this CCG doesn't approve Metformin for non diabetics' (for non-diabetics, read anyone who has an HbA1c under 53) The fact that I have massive insulin resistance, and can only achieve my 'too low for Met' blood glucose by a very low carb way of eating doesn't seem to factor into their thinking. I'd quite like to eat the odd apple, or glass of milk, or have dhal with my curry occasionally. I don't want it for blood glucose control, or for appetite suppression - I can do both of those myself. I want it for any reduction insulin resistance I can get. And I am already on B12 supplements, so I think I have that side of things covered... In fact, I only want it for a 3 month trial, to see what happens. Bet they won't give it to me though. [/QUOTE]
