I didn't know that you can buy an A1c test at Walmart. Thanks for the info. I quit Metformin about 2 weeks ago. It was not done on purpose. I ran out of Metformin and wasn't able to refill. After going without it for 3 or 4 days, I noticed a change. It was if a fog had been lifted, both physically and mentally. I don't think I"ll ever take Metformin again. There seems to be little change in my glucose count. In fact I'm less hungry and my count is lower. Especially at bedtime check. It's good to be rid of all the sore muscles. I was so tired of my body always aching.

I was going to cut one of my Metformin pills but put it off when I got a little sick and had higher numbers, so now I am feeling very well eating veggies out of my garden and my numbers are staying low. I am feeling mentally much better and notice the difference in my thinking as well. I have lost several pounds, finally, and eat less beef, relying on fish and fresh vegetables and one serving of a multigrain bread. I attribute the good feeling to the fresh vegetables and those wonderful, fresh tomatoes every day. I must remember to purchase a variety of fresh food when the garden is finished, but right now I have lettuce, radishes, and a few beet tops to eat. I have turnips growing for my son. I have plenty of red sweet peppers and will freeze some for adding to winter recipes. I also have sweet potatoes to dig and no longer grow white potatoes. My blood pressure is lower but not down to normal yet. I stay isolated at home. Dorisena
