Metformin was one of the things that really pushed me into Atkins. I was put on it, and it just so completely floored me... I mean, I was sick, could barely move, ect. It was HORRIBLE. And I started thinking about it like this "hmm... so they give me these horrible pills so that I can better metabolize carbs. So what if I just don't eat the carbs and chuck these nasty things?" So I read up on it, found Atkins, and for years now my bloodwork has been absolutley perfect.

(I realize others may not be able to do what I did, but that's my story and it did work for me! I'm not really good about doing anything my doctor tells me to though.)
