[QUOTE="Evie-D, post: 2060371, member: 505837"] Me again! It’s been nearly a month since diagnosis as type 2 and I’m about to go to the dietician for the first time. She will be the first person I’ve seen since diagnosis. Anyway I’ve been following LCHF for the month and have to date lost 1 stone. I’ve still a lot to go. However this is where I’m getting a bit confused. Dr wanted me to take metformin starting on 1 per day increasing to 4 over the weeks. I’m currently on 3 but my bg levels have ranged from 5.1 to 5.9 for the past fortnight. I’m not sure whether this is the metformin or the weight loss but is it possible to get into remission this quickly? Is an hba1c test the only way to find out? I don’t know if I should increase the metformin to the fourth tablet but am loathed to do so so haven’t at present. Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
