[QUOTE="peacetrain, post: 563928, member: 96747"] I was put straight onto metformin immediately on diagnosis because my HbA1c was 115. Usually, at my practice, newbies are given the chance to control with diet and exercise alone. By February my HbA1c was 52 and meds reduced from 3 to 2 doses. May HbA1c was 35. Metformin reduced to 1 dose. But I still had the dizziness and for several months I've suffered from dead hands in the night and recently one foot sometimes. I want to see if the metformin is the culprit. I also want the chance to see if I can control with diet and exercise alone. I want the chance I didn't get on diagnosis. I've worked extremely hard to get to this point (with the help of all the good people here). I know all about the benefits metformin can give but I want to try and I'm not about to sit on my backside and and do nothing just because my results are better. I keep myself fit and active. Were all different and I want to have a go. Sent from the [url=http://www.diabetes.co.uk/app/?utm_source=sig&utm_medium=txt&utm_campaign=appsig]Diabetes Forum App[/url] [/QUOTE]
