    I started on 500 mg about 10 years ago. I now take 1000 mg (ER) 2x a day. I kept eating like I didn't have Diabetes and now I have neuropathy. I never had any problems with the drug. I had not heard about other health benefits - that must be new. I'm surprised your doc wants you on it since you're under 6.0 A1C. I've always been told anything under 6.5 is at goal for a diabetic. You may want to keep waiting and see how well you can stick to your way of eating and keep watching your A1C. Exercise also helps lower BG quite a bit. And please home test periodically to catch any trends before they become problematic.
