Another possibility Allen is that with your weight loss and diet, you have reversed some of your blood sugar load.

It might be helpful to not take anything for 2 weeks and see if your sugars have corrected so far with your diet and lifestyle changes.

Test morning fasting and some postprandial (1 hr after eating) and before dinner, to see what your sugar is doing during the day.
An A1C below 6 and you might not need any meds at all, now as long as you continue with your dietary improvements.

I gave up my metformin for the second time this year because of GI pain. 3 weeks ago. And I just tested my sugar now and it is 100.

I've been using a supplement called theanine... which was listed in a newsletter by Dr. Blaylock MD as helpful for neuropathy. I've been taking it since early August, and since then my glucose readings have become normal. 150mg at bedtime. After this surprise I looked it up in more detail and found that theanine (which is found in green tea) reduces cortisol in the body from stress. Increased cortisol is implicated in the dawn phenomenon and cortisol does raise blood sugar.
