Default Debating Metformin use

I'm a Type 2 diabetic, have been on Metformin before and I did like the Extended Relief stuff, went off a few months ago when #'s all got really good, but then things got really bad really quick and now I'm at 7.2 A1C (I was dx'd at 7.0 in 2004, so this is just a tad worse).. New doc wants me on Metformin again, but I started back to LC the day after my appointment w/ him and I'm wondering if it wouldn't be an interesting experiment to see if 3 months of LC is enough to get me back where I was before things got bad (last A1C was in the low 5's) - yes, part of me wants to go in there and tell the doc that I did it w/ LC and no Metformin, not WW as he suggested... I know that's juvenile. Should I just take the help and take the Metformin? Would I be able to go off it again when I'm closer to goal weight?
