Hi ! I have been reading the threads. I've just not been in the mood to post. A1c was 6.7...up since I stopped metformin. I will more than likely be back on it soon since it was helping except for all the side effects!!!!Waited to go back on it because you have to be off it when you have a colonoscopy. Good luck to you all. I'll be reading!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry you haven't been having a good time, if you are going back on Metformin, have you consider the ER version, I hear that it's easier for people to tolerate.

Went for check up and will be on Actos. Waiting for mailed-in prescription. Will start Jan. 1 and resume strict dieting again after the holidays. 151 lbs. 5'7". My back problems have hindered my exercise(treadmill) program. Just doing some stretching for a bit. Cholesterol and trigls. are great and BP, too. Only fasting glucose and A1c are off now.
