[QUOTE="Pipp, post: 2448722, member: 100904"] I understand your enthusiasm to be free of medication, [USER=506427]@Dudette1[/USER] , and you have done so well with your management of your T2, in such a short time. I felt the same, and stopped metformin as soon as I had 2 years of non - diabetes BG levels. I hadn’t suffered any of the gastric problems many report, just hated being on medication. Levels did go up again. Possibly due to many factors, including long period of inactivity and the need for several major surgical procedures. Also hospital food and increased carbs in diet. So I gladly take Metformin again. Not just because of the higher BG levels, as I don’t think Metformin has that much impact. Just encourages me to keep on looking after myself. Also, I read about other benefits. [URL='https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7212476/']https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7212476/ I[/URL]f my fasting levels were above 7-8 I wouldn’t consider stopping diabetes meds. That’s just me though. I probably would feel very different if I had the digestive effects some report. Incidentally, what is it you hate about low carb diet? Perhaps need to look at what you can do to find something you like about that? [/QUOTE]
