[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 2617660, member: 150927"] Hi [USER=544995]@ajbod[/USER]. As well as for your circulation, your medical professionals may have kept you on metformin for its appetite suppessing action? (I see from earlier postings that you first came into the Forum when you were dieting for weight loss for better health and a just in the diabetes range HBA1c in your neck of the woods - it would be prediabetes in mine.) Would be interesting if you go off the met, because then you would be officially in remission, which is a wonderful type of diabetes to be! And you are now out of the prediabetes range too, I see. And had significant weight loss? I understand the cravings - who doesn't have those other than very rare bods? There is so much seriously attactive high carb/fattening food out there, and some of us are probably sugar addicts (which is how i see myself). I know I deliberately avoid the lolly ailse in supermarkets - much easier not to see it! And get any sweetness-joy from the health food ailses where my stevia sweetened or dried berry products lie... (the best no sugar sweetness being from my own kitchen). Anyway. Will be interesting to follow your meds/no meds path, if you go off metformin one day. To be healthy hormone regulated I would say hunger is natural and desired! But easier to eat less or in an eating window, than you might otherwise with a wee appetite suppressant?
