Hey Don,

Welcome to the forums, its a great place for information. The only thing I can offer in relation to Metformin is that it has helped me lose weight as I honestly feel it is working as an appetite suppressant. I used to be constantly hungry (possibly due to undiagnosed diabetes?) but since I started on Met I don't get hungry, I now eat because it's mealtime and not because I'm hungry.

You mention your A1c is 7.6 and still high, how long are you on Met, what was your first A1c, are you watching carbs etc?
