Yay! Well done! Two of my personal goals as well. I'm reduced to one Metformin at night. My fasting glucose has been steady I'll keep watch out but hopefully in another 20-30 lbs I can drop the night dose and start considering reducing the beta block for my BP too.4

That's amazing! I was diagnosed about 7 weeks ago and am working towards the same goal.2

56lbs ago I was on insulin 2x a day, metformin, and blood pressure pills 2x a dsy, and walking with a cane. I am PROUD to say I am completely off ALL of this! !8

wow. I've meanged my blood sugars and dropped 45 lbs and upped my exercise. Still on metformin 3 x a day. Yesterday though my blood sugars dropped-first time ever that low. Had to eat a lifesaver. Maybe the doctor is right and next month we'll reduce the metformin.1

That's amazing progress!! Congrats on your weight loss & getting off Metformin!!!0

This is great news, good for you! You are so smart, taking care of yourself like you should. My DH is on Metformin (just upped to 3 at meals), BP meds, cholesterol meds, and has stomach issues. I cook healthy for him, but he refuses to eat right when I'm not around - should lose about 70 lbs. SO frustrating!! Go you!!0

Well done and congrats! Can totally relate as I was in the same situation as you, and now I have thrown away my Metformin and leading a healthy active lifestyle. Keep up the good work!0
