[QUOTE="finsit, post: 2363746, member: 536821"] If you are newly diagnosed with high a1c, you must fight using all your weapons like Dr. Bernstein says "it takes what it takes" to get to as close to normal as possible. I strongly advise to use Metformin till you do the lifestyle changes and have better insulin resistance that will take you few months (and losing belly fat if you have some). Once you are accustomed to the new diet and have got the numbers under 100 post/pre meal, you may then think of weaning it off but watching your reading carefully. Metformin has less side affects than high blood sugar. [/QUOTE]
