My last A1c was 6.3.. within normal limits.. My CalorieCount site says I get straight A's for my daily nutritional choices, though I'm low in Calcium and Potassium every day .. :(   I do take a supplement daily, but even with that, I'm deficient.
The scales says I've lost 21# so far since beginning the new way of eating this past February.  Not bad.. a few 'bumps' along the way, but am on target now.

Snowing this morning.. just a 'skiff'... not bad, but cold at 34* right now.

Let's talk Metformin

Metformin is the generic form of the drug Glucophage.  It's used in the US to treat Type 2 diabetes, and is usually the first drug tried where insulin resistance is known.  In Europe, it is a drug used for weight loss.  Let's hope that it works that way for me.
It's a drug that has few side effects and a low risk of hypoglycemia (or low blood sugar).
Metformin is known to reduce cholesterol and triglycerides, and shown to prevent the cardiovascular complications of Type 2 diabetes.
