[QUOTE="dnfuss, post: 155945, member: 15487"] Perhaps you will be able to tolerate the extended-release form of metformin. I take mine at night (2000 mg) to combat high morning glucose levels (dawn phenomenon). If not, there are other oral agents to try. I cannot recommend too highly to you the book [I]Diabetes Solution[/I] by Dr. Richard K. Bernstein for information regarding metformin and everything else having to do with diabetes. He is certainly the pre-eminent diabetologist of the last several decades. The book is incredibly detailed and packed with useful insight and practical advice. If you follow the program he outlines, you can absolutely achieve truly normal blood sugars. You won't be "cured" (i.e., once again have naturally normal blood sugars without having to exercise or eat low carb or take medication), but you will be able to keep you blood sugars totally within the normal ranges of the completely non-diabetic. I am 61 years old and have followed Dr. Bernstein's advice for nearly 10 years. Both of my diabetic parents followed the ADA-recommended high-carb diet and were insulin-dependent by the time they were my age (and their blood sugars were nearly always what I would now consider unacceptably high). I am on only metformin, along with a low-carb diet and (not nearly enough) exercise. I can't be sure following Dr. Bernstein's recommendations is the reason I haven't had to go on insulin, but so far so good. [/QUOTE]
