However I didn't take any of it, yes potentially stupid of me.My blood test this week came back at an HBAC1 of 48.  I have been basically eating low carb with the odd beer as a treat, ive also lost over a stone. There are areas for improvement still, ie less pints and the odd sandwich whilst out. So should I ask my GP to reduce or stop the dose. I don't think they will be impressed I didn't take any medication but then again I got it down to 48 without it.Some history - diagnosed 2018 - 65 HbA1c, put on Metformin. down to 38 in 3 months, 39 3 months later - taken off metformin.Most reviews upto this year were 44 HbA1c without any medicine, and probably cheated a few times. <h3></h3></blockquote>
