Hello MWP,
Welcome back and Congrats on getting your BG under control.
I had quit taking metformin when I got pretty good control of my BG several years ago. Had no problems whatsoever. I did start taking it again after a couple of years, not for BG but for other positive effects it has. Anti-inflammatory, protection against some cancers, and lately its been touted as having anti-aging.
At the time I quit, it was the only diabetes med I was on. I would have quit anything else I was on before the metformin. You can read about diabetes meds at Bloodsugar 101. The link takes you to the SGLT-2 drugs, Jardiance is one of the drugs in this class.
