I came off metformin. You can beat this. But it's harder with the meds, to me.

Metformin will actually contribute to neuropathy. I didn't realize that until too late.

You can reverse it with discipline. Cut out bad carbs, pasta, bread, rice, etc.. You can have some, but not every day and not in large quantities.

Walk a few miles a day. Cut out soft drinks and sugars of any kind (that's the hardest to me).

It will take a few months, but as you lose weight and cut those carbs out, you'll feel better and the A1C will come down on it's own.


Character is not developed in moments of temptation and trial. That is when it is intended to be used.
