Group 7-day waking average?

Still on metformin, but next appointment is due soon. I'll ask to come off it at least for a trial period to see whether it's the weight loss or metformin that has reduced my insulin resistance. I'll never be drug-free because of other stuff, but one less would be good.

I imagine that the weight loss is helping a great deal. Even losing a couple of pounds gives me a significant increase in insulin sensitivity - easy for me to notice when I'm injecting the stuff! Metformin is supposed to have some protective properties beyond its anti-diabetic properties, so might be worth continuing with if you think that is worth it, I know some forum members do. Personally, I'm more in favour of less drugs! 🙂
 
18.3:( No idea why

Thank you. Maybe it's the calm before the storm though 😡
 
I suppose it's just that with me trying so hard on a normal day & night to do the D stuff it's almost going to be a pain when night's out / meals out / holidays etc come along and ruin everything. Going out tonight 😡, not for a meal just to our local to watch a local rock covers band.
 
Enjoy the music, and raise a glass for those of us stuck at home without a social life! 😛
