Hi Nancy and Amy, welcome to Connect. Great questions about managing diet with type 2 diabetes. Nancy, would you mind if I changed the title of this discussion to "Type 2 diabetes & questions about how to better manage diet"? I think it would help bring people into the conversation.

@panicek @lesiel @minda77 @bogdel @ihatediabetes and @cowen150 I'm tagging you on this conversation to see if you might have thoughts to add to the ideas that Amy and Nancy are sharing.

I stopped metformin and statin. Now i am taking red yeast rice supplement and co q10 gummy chews instead. I read that lovastsin comes from red yeast rice. So trying to take because statin caused leg cramps. Interesting that metformin can help lose weight. I stopped taking because got a1c under 7 with diet and exercise. Might try again if helps to lose weight.

I had a bad reaction to metformin with diarrhea and stomach pain. It also affected my kidney function. Not something I would consider taking again!
