[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2114663, member: 480869"] I was diagnosed at 55mmol and have never had metformin and neither have many others at a level around yours,and even much higher. Whilst your dr seems more up to date than many it is common not to have any meds for the first 3 months whilst diet is tried first. Metformin only has a small effect anyway as it’s meant to be used WITH diet not instead of. So yes with your weight loss on the temporary 8 week blood diet, maintenance and probably further weight loss on low carb I’d say you’d easily be able to come off metformin well before Thailand if you want to. (Or even discuss it with dr at first 3 month review assuming your hb1ac has fallen) [/QUOTE]
