OK, on my last doc visit I was finally told I was a T2. My doctor prescribed Metformin for me, this was about 4 weeks ago. I never filled the prescription because my BG had been in check with simply using 10-12 units of Lantis at bedtime. My BG has maintained very, very nicely since the doc visit too by only watching what I eat and excercise every night. Over the last month, my highest reading was 137 and my lowest 77 right before bed.
I'm having a serious dilema now. Should I start using the Metformin or not? I have a doc visit coming up next week (I believe) and I'm not going to initially tell her I haven't been on Metformin. My plan is to show her my numbers (I keep an excellent log) and see what she says, i.e. "looks like the Metformin is working well". Then I'm going to drop the bomb that I'm not on it. LOL
I really, really don't like taking drugs unless they are absolutely necessary. I was VERY reluctant to start on the Lisinopril, I just don't like taking drugs at all.
Opinions on the Metformin?
