[QUOTE="Alexandra100, post: 1610870, member: 429870"] If it is suiting you, I'd keep stumm and stay on it. I have read lots of good things about Metformin. I rather envy you, as I had a pre-pre-diabetic A1c test of 41but am finding I am having to cut carbs to the bone to lower my daily blod glucose levels to anything approaching normal / ideal. I tried hard to get my GP to prescribe me Metformin, but she wasn't playing. Some people want passionately to control their bgs by diet alone. Personally, I feel lowering one's bg is SO important, I'll do whatever it takes. IMO whether one is pre- or type 2 is irrelevant. I follow my two gurus, Dr Bernstein and Jenny Ruhl, in thinking that what counts is blood sugar levels, and that they are damagingly high long before they qualify us for these categories. In any case the level at which one is considered pre- etc varies from country to country. [/QUOTE]
