[QUOTE="ButtterflyLady, post: 943132, member: 43498"] Glad things are going well for you. It might still be a good idea to take metformin though, because it has other benefits, and it's best to discuss with your HCP first before you stop a medication. To give you an example, my HbA1c is now 33 and has been for some time, but I still take 1000mg of metformin a day and I plan to keep doing it unless I develop bad side effects or I see research showing it's a bad idea for me.
