OK so I went to the doctors the other day regarding concentration problems. He told me to stop all medication I'm taking INCLUDING Metformin. Now I am sceptical about this because I'm sure the medication wouldnt cause problems like that. Everyones saying because I'm 21 its suprising that I'm on metformin in the first place, what should I do? Different doctors are giving me different advice and its just not helping.
 
Hi Rain, your profile says you're diet only, so did the Metformin come later? What was your last HbA1c? That will give us an idea as to wether or nit you can do without the meds.
 
Ah yeah I have not updated that yet. My diabetic nurse put me on metformin. And last one ws 7 point something. I can't find my booklet at the moment :mrgreen:
 
Ok, got it. Not surprised you were put on Met as many docs do it automatically - it's a good safe drug with good preventative properties against heart issues. Having said that, if your HbA1c was 7 something, there would be every chance you could do well on diet and exercise only. - just have to keep the starchy carbohydrates down. Good luck!
 
Hi Rain000

I hope that this helps
