[QUOTE="Johosephat, post: 2445045, member: 541627"] I hoping forum users will be able to kindly offer me some advice. I was diagnosed T2 Jan 2021, had a blood test April 2021 and another October 2021. I currently take statins and 4 x 500mg Metformin each day. I've expressed an interest in reducing my medication to my doctor, but my last results have come back with a note of "no further action needed". Jan 2021: HbA1c 112 / Cholesterol 8.8 April 2021: HbA1c 39 / Cholesterol 4.4 Oct 2021: HbA1c 33 / Cholesterol 4.0 Through low carb and exercise, I've gone from 19st to 13st 10lb. As the results seems to be improving, I'm hoping other forum users can advise whether I'm in a position to push harder to reduce my medication or if I should remain on them. Would that be a reasonable and safe request? I'm pushing for remission and don't want to jeopardise that. As a side note, I'd also like to say how thankful I am for all the advice gained from this forum to help achieve these improvements. I don't post much but have gained so much helpful information from other more knowledgeable forum users. [/QUOTE]
