>I needed to be on the dosage I was at because my glucose and A1C were so dangerously high. In the first month and a half between my diet and the metformin, I lost about 15 lbs but the blood sugar did not change one bit. So I needed something to get me out of the danger zone.

Believe me, I'd love to be off a medication and will do the "due diligence", but I also have to be realistic.
