After pretty much ignoring my doctor two years ago when I was pre-diabetic and told me to go on a low carb diet, my A1C shot up to over 10 and he put me on meds 4 weeks ago and told me I'd cut my lifespan by 10 years if I did not go on low carb. (My BG was 250 fasting and 325 after a meal). Well, its been 4 weeks at 20 carbs or less per day and with his approval, I discontinued the Metformin yesterday. If all goes well, I'll discontinue the Farxiga next week.

So far so good. I'm pretty sure all the Metformin is out of my system. It's half life is just 6.2 hours after a dose and I did not take any yesterday. I woke up today and my BG was 101 and just 107 after my morning coffee.

I'm looking forward to being off the meds completely.
