Since January I have lost 80 pounds. From 300 to 220.
My morning fasting blood sugar has been between 85 and 95.
Tomorrow I have lab work done. I am hoping I can get off metformin. I had been taking 4 pills (2 metformin and 2 glipizide) a day for type II but now I am down to one metformin. Hopefully tomorrow, the one metformin goes away too!
Excellent & well done. Is 220 your desired weight? Hopefully, your blood results will allow you to kick metformin to the curb.
You are definitely doing it right...

That is about my avg too... I don’t take Metformin but I do supplement w 500MG Berberine about 3 times a week (if I think about it)
Your weight loss is awesome, I’m about 35lbs behind you but fishing and beer does get in my way from time to time... That Ultralight 2.6G Carb does allow me to feel less guilty and enjoy my friends and fishing as long as that good voice in my head keeps telling me “Beer is liquid bread”
Excellent!
My first A1c this year was in January with a 7.4 result. I lost about 25 lbs. over the next few months and revised my med schedule to take my Glipizide right before a meal. By May, my A1c was at 6.5. In June, I was taken off of Metformin due to an adverse kidney function test. I only have one kidney due to a non-malignant tumor that caused the loss of my left kidney several years ago. Now my only meds are 10mg Glipizide am and again in the pm. It seems to be finally doing the trick as long as I’m really diligent on the diet side of things.
