Hi, I take metformin for my diabetes , I was prescribed insulin a year ago but never used it. With diet and weight loss and increased exercise I am keeping my bloods to acceptable levels, my normal high morning readings are now averaging 7 from average 12, I have recently increased my exercise and starting to have the odd hypo. I presume this is my body working better. As an experiment I ate two cakes the other day and my bloods were under 8 an hour later, last year they would have been 18 plus. I have already halved my metformin and wondered is it a reality that I may be drug free if I continue with this healthier weight/lifestyle.
