[QUOTE="borofergie, post: 244693, member: 33342"] Yes. That's almost exactly what happened to me. Diagnosis HbA1c=10.2%. After 3 months low-carb plus 1000mg Metformin HbA1c=5.6% At my 3 month review my GP said, if you keep your HbA1c that low then I'll take you off metformin. Anticipating that he was going to pull me off the metformin anyway, I didn't bother picking up my next prescription of metformin a month later. At my 8 month review my now metformin-free HbA1c was 5.1% and he took away my prescription. The thing is, like you, I'd really like some metformin. I work hard at my low-carb diet, and I'd really appreciate the extra 1mmol/l worth of carb that I could eat. I also find that my weight loss was much better on metformin. [/QUOTE]
