That's incredible!! So happy for you!! I am waiting on my lab work results to see if I can go off Metformin also. I was borderline diabetic in Jan '11, put on Metformin for PCOS, and every 3months my lab work has improved with my weight loss. This post has totally made me smile!
Amazing job!

Just got back from the doctor's office. Last July, I was diagnosed as a Type 2 diabetic. Since then, I've lost 40 lbs and my A1C has gone down from 12 to 5.8!!! Dr. says I "made his day". For those not familiar with A1C blood tests, 5.8 is considered to be in the normal range. (12 is considered totally out of control diabetic) Based on the latest tests, I'm off of the Metformin for the next 3 months and will go back for another blood test in April. So my goal for the next 3 months is to lose an additional 10-12 lbs and to maintain my A1C within the normal range.

Wish me luck!

Great news! Way to turn things your way. You are my new inspiration!

I'm right there with you, man. A1C of 9.9 and fasting glucose of 262 at the doctor's office. He said meds. I said no. So far, down 43 lbs. (lost 10 the first week). Fasting blood sugar down to 109. The doctor visit was 9 weeks ago. I'm due to go back in 5 or 6 weeks.

It gives me great hope to know that I (we all) may be able to whip this thing. Congrats again on the great news and perseverance!
