[QUOTE="Doczoc, post: 76448, member: 12900"] Thanks Dennis for this response, I'm somewhat in the same boat as the original poster. I stopped taking Meformin (1x500mg) 3 months ago. I'm the sort of person who doesn't like taking tablets but have always had the niggle in the back of my head about my pancreas burning out eventually. Since stopping Metformin my fasting BG levels have been low 4s usually and various readings through the day have been low 5s, although I've been testing nowhere near as rigidly as I was initially diagnosed. I'm having my 3rd HB1AC in a couple of weeks time so will find out the real score then - did have a carb frenzy for a week a couple of weeks ago though LOL I am thinking that I should continue with the Metformin, although as I understand it 1x500mg will have little effect. I tried discussing with the doctor about increasing it after my second HB1AC but she insisted that it was 'doing it's job' when it was actually due to diet really. I guess I felt at the time that it wasn't worth taking for the limited impact it was having. Am I being stupid thinking this? [/QUOTE]
