I was on Metformin for the last 6+ years. It raises blood pressure, so they prescribed hydrochloric thiazide for my blood pressure, (which by-the-way raises blood sugar levels)! I finally decided to seek out the services of a "functional medical practitioner", and in less than 60 days through a diet and some exercise I was able to get off my Metformin completely. My current glucose readings run between 87 to 106 in the morning and very similar 2 hrs after dinner.
I still need to lose a few more pounds before out able to get off of a new blood pressure medication.
