I think that’s sensible news. I’m so tired of the guilt and fright when my daily punctures are above 140, for example, but my A1C is 7 or below. I’ve long thought that one size does not fit all when it comes to determining who is seriously (or even actually)diabetic.

Suffered for years on metformin and other drugs, both alone and in combination, until I decided to treat myself. Now taking glyburide alone and doing pretty well. Last A1C was 7.3 (after a bout with shingles and an infection), and the one before was 6.5.

Illness and meds do make a big difference on your glucose levels, etc.

I’m new to Metformin. What are some of the problems you had while on it?
