[QUOTE="Sia!, post: 2095464, member: 510752"] Hi, my name is Sora, and I'm from Canada. I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes during my pregnancy on June 2018. I controlled it through exercise and diet. Unfortunately, it stayed with me and I was recently diagnosed as diabetic through Glucose Tolerance Test. However, my glocuse level is still around 4.3 for fasting, and less than 6.7 after 2 hours of having meal. I just saw an endocrinologist, she is insisting that I should start metformin. I know that I am controlling my BG through low carb diet (21 gr carbs per meal). I was wondering if there is any benefit of starting metformin now? if I can control my BG through my lifestyle, can I get to the point that I cannot control it by diet anymore? or get any diabetes complication? Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
