I have halved my meds without speaking to doctor first as I changed diet and kept having hypos. I did suggest to DN that I was thinking of trying low carbs but she wasn't really interested. Group practice and seem to see a different doc every time I go but they've all only put my meds up without giving advice. DN has since said to carry on with what I'm doing when had blood tests & then told her only taking half meds. Ideally if you have doc who is interested, discuss with them but I feel mine aren't. Too busy to care! Got more help from here.

Hi - yeah I originally done the same - and know the feeling with seeing different doc all the time , truth is we need to take control of our own health even if our actions are a worry eh

I was on Metformin and.medication for BP and cholesterol and I was having too many hypos so I just stopped all my medication at the same time. I have a really nice nurse and when I told her what I had done and why she was fine with it as I was doing so well. Its a shame yoir Dr seems disinterested, that would really annoy me.

Hi - are you type 2 ? For how long and how long have u stopped the meds ? Has it affected your levels

@henrik7 I was diagnosed T2 nearly 3 years ago now. I was on medication for 10 months and since stopping my cholesterol has evened out, my BP is normal and I rarely have hypos anymore. My BS has been fine as long as I still restrict my carbs but on the odd occasion that I have a carb loaded meal or something sugary I find my levels come down quite nicely. My HbA1c has been in the non diabetic range for almost 2 years now.
