[QUOTE="gfmoore, post: 572058, member: 108280"] I think it's been two or three weeks now. i guess I could try longer, but I am determined to get my levels down and they were okay when on the metformin once I'd started the lchf diet. My only issue was the dawn phenomenon and a persistent cough. So coming off meds was an attempt to try and solve those conundrums. However, if its not to be then I am not worried. Metformin seems to have a reasonable press as far as meds go and if it helps then I'll live with it. I recognise I have a dangerous disease and if I need to take a calculated risk with medicine then fair enough. What really irks is that docs seem so keen to give you meds where there are clear dangers (e.g. statins) and don't really go though the risk assessment. Everything I know(and its not much - yet) is through my own personal research. So onwards and upwards through the great experiment that is my body. Thanks for the concern and encouragement though - it is really appreciated. :) [/QUOTE]
