[QUOTE="cugila, post: 111321, member: 15325"] Yes, it is perfectly possible to come off the medication providing you can still keep good BG control. However as FP has stated, there are also other benefits atributed to Metformin which you might also need to consider. I was on 3g Metformin and 320mg Gliclazide for years. I gained great Bg control and gradually was weaned off both meds. I eventually got down to the point where I stopped taking both meds with my Consultant's guidance and support. My Bg control remained stable without the meds. Unfortunately, due to an unrelated non-Diabetic condition, I have had to re-instate some Metformin and some Glic at odd times, a temporary lapse I hope. But to sum up, the meds [b]do not[/b] have to be for life..... [/QUOTE]
