Hello Beyond,

I was diagnosed as a Type II diabetic about 7 years ago. I had multiple Drs prescribe Metformin. No, it didn't help me lose weight. Truthfully, I didn't see any benefit in taking it at all.

After about 5 years of taking Metformin I got frustrated with it. I hate taking meds. I started doing some research on my own and learned that Type II diabetes is 100% reversible if a person is willing to make the necessary lifestyle changes to make it happen. I haven't taken any meds for my diabetes in 18 months. In fact, I had my annual checkup today. My A1C was 6.7. Not perfect by any means, but below 7.0 which is where my current Dr. starts to get concerned.

I don't plan to ever take that or any other Diabetes med again.
