That's all it's ever been.  I don't think the subsequent fat loss had or has any influence on my BG level, which was normal long before I'd lost any significant amount, and has stayed around the same figure for five years now while my weight fell. I'm not about to give up my football three times a week, because I enjoy it too much, but exercise also has had no discernable effect on my BG in the mid or long term.  I have no experience of metformin, but Bilous and Donnelly point out  (Handbook of Diabetes) that its main effect is to stop the liver producing glucose, and to improve insulin sensitivity. It doesn't otherwise affect glucose in eaten food.</blockquote>
