[QUOTE="pavlosn, post: 2077161, member: 22572"] Well done on bringing your numbers down. It is entirely up to you of course to make your own choices but I was wondering why you wish to stop the metformin when still in the 8s. Assuming you can tolerate it and do not suffer from side effects it is a safe mild drug that acts differently from other diabetes drugs in that it does not raise insulin but lower insulin resistance as well as limiting glucose dumps from the liver. Assuming your target glucose levels are lower than 8 would you not be better off to carry on taking the metformin until you reach these levels and then reduce the dosage and see if you can maintain them? I apologise in advance if you consider my comment is out of line. Best regards Pavlos [/QUOTE]
