Metformin reduction - time to see an effect

[Lucyr]

It absolutely is! And that is my downfall! 🙂

I am slowly training myself to be happy with 1 piece but its hard as I used to kick the ass out of it. LOL

i will be getting the 100% dark chocolate which has very lttle sugar. This will help Im sure 🙂

Why 100% cocoa? It’s dreadful. If you’re going to have chocolate you might as well enjoy it.

Exactly!!!!.
I have tried the 80% and it is not enjoyable, Aldi's 70% in various flavours is good but only half an oblong at a time, at the weekend.

Which just goes to show that we're all different, as I find that Lindt 85% Intense Dark suits me just fine, but like you I ration it - 2 squares a day, occasionally 3.

Holidaying in Cornwall, as we've done every year for the last 12 years, I developed a taste for Kernow 70% and now my wife orders it from the sweet shop in Fowey as my birthday, Valentine's Day, wedding anniversary, Easter and Xmas treat.

80% is the max I can eat and no way would I buy or enjoy 100%, so good luck with that!

Mostly I buy Lidl 70% and it is quite easy to restrict it to one square broken into 4 pieces and I eat it with a spoon of 100% peanut butter to make it more satisfying. Any lower than 70% and it becomes too moreish and I struggle to restrict it to just 1 square.

Great. The world's your oyster!

I love 90% dark chocolate.
I’ve had some 100% stuff from Hotel Chocolat that was nice.

Thats where I want to get to and just taking it steadily. Im hoping the numbers stay where they are for the next week and if they do look at reducing again

It takes time, but don't be in too much of a hurry to dump the the Metformin, it does serve a purpose if necessary

Have you tried Montezuma 100 per cent, absolute dark chocolate range?

We are currently wading through HC 100 per cent batons. A little goes a very long way

Yes, I’ve got some Montezuma, but I prefer their lime and salt one! It’s a bit too more-ish, though.

Going back to the thread subject, I kind of forgot to take my 500mg of metformin quite often and eventually the GP surgery stopped it. It made no difference to hba1c for the next test.
