[QUOTE="Winnie53, post: 1501167, member: 160246"] [USER=415728]@justaguy[/USER] Welcome to the forum! I join you in your confusion. Why does your nurse want you to stop taking metformin with an A1c of 44 (6.2%) and 40 (5.8%)? Your A1c's could be better, but aren't horrible - (A1c's in the 31 to 40 range would be much better). Metformin doesn't cause dangerous hypo's. The medications help, but they alone aren't enough. If you'd like some help with your diet, we'd be glad to help. Are you able to walk, swim, or engage in other regular physical activity? What's a typical breakfast, lunch, and dinner for you now? Also, what are your pre-meal and 2-hour post-meal glucose levels typically? If you have questions, ask away. :) [/QUOTE]
