[QUOTE="FordPrefect, post: 111306, member: 21168"] Well ultimately its down to you personally to decide and you are always at liberty to decide to no longer take medication. I think a lot of doctors prefer to keep you on medication however as its down in the guidelines from the specialists. Don't forget that metformin also protects various organs from the damage that high blood sugar causes even if you only have relatively short spikes. My specialist but it quite bluntly to me. Diabetics who take metformin regularly live longer its as simple as that. Metformin has also been linked to a reduction in the chance of contracting some cancers too. But dont forget I am no doctor just another diabetic like yourself. If you are really unsure talk to your GP for more advice. [/QUOTE]
