I kept monitoring and right before I found a new gp I found wild swings taking place. I went back on metformin and have been on since. I may reconsider again, as I am further down in weight exponentially and even better a1c wise, but I thought it was a useful anecdote.
Hi Jon,

I should have been more clear, I'm expecting my A1c to trend down NOW but still be up from previous years. I have definitely reached a new low (high?) in my Diabetes progression.

I am currently still in the 'collecting baseline data' stage of testing and already notice wild, unexplained differences in numbers, so I have no intention of stopping.

My GPs are VERY supportive, especially with my taking control of my weight problem and losing 25lbs in 9 weeks - much more to go. I will be seeing my PM Team about the onset of additional excruciating needle stab pains in my limbs at my next appt. They are the most supportive Team I could wish for.

Dave.
