Message: <blockquote data-quote="Bluetit1802" data-source="post: 2376737" data-attributes="member: 94045"><p>Yes, there are drugs that lower blood sugar levels as much as a low carb diet will, but Metformin is not one of them. It helps to a limited extent by reducing the amount of glucose the liver shoots out and to a limited extent with insulin resistance, but it does not lower blood sugar levels sufficiently to allow patients to eat what they please without seeing increased BS levels. If it did help as you suggest, why do so many T2s initially on Metformin, eating as they please,  end up on very strong drugs and even insulin?</p></blockquote><p></p>
