Hi colleagues, fellow members, legends, newbies. Some of you will know I am a relative NEWBY. I was prescribed 500mg Metformin and changed my diet reasonably instantly once I had worked out which Carbs were impacting me. So I have NO excuses now, If my numbers go up it is invariably because i have CHOSEN to eat something and then brace myself for the consequences. Overall though MEGA pleased with progress. It has now been 40 days since I started testing my BS.and 43 days since I was prescribed a 28 day supply of Metformin 500mg one a day. So missed a few days at the start and odd one here and there. My 28 tablets finished 5 days ago. I haven't managed to get to the GP, weekend and practical issues. My numbers actually are as good NOW if not better now than they were when I was taking Metformin. Could still be a build up in blood circulating. I am now going to see if I can maintain these numbers without Metformin which some regular members have suggested is such a low dose as to not be material anyway. My fasting numbers last 5 days are given below. I am really ok with that so goodby METFORMIN for now. Please let me know if you think its a bit too risky.
