Is medication reduction good?
My last A1C was 5.9 and my most recent one was even lower at 5.7. That’s translates to an average blood glucose of around 111. Since I have maintained such a good level on my A1C they are going to drop the dosage on my Metformin. On one level I’m glad to decrease my meds, but on another level I wonder if this doesn’t just make it harder to keep my blood glucose in line and set me up for failure? I know that my current levels are good, and I want to keep them that way. I’m not sure how much more I can do naturally to make things better? I’m already going to the gym very regularly and eat much healthier than before…

You have a great A1C. I awesome you don't see too many highs are lows. I wouldn't worry about the reduction in your medication. It has happened to me a lot in the past and I thought of it as a graduation type of thing. You take good care of your diabetes and that's how you are rewarded. I am not a Doctor but I am assuming your Physician is lowering your medication because he doesn't want you to experience any hypoglycemic episodes. Be Happy and celebrate. I would like to suggest if you see your BG's going high after your dosage was changed contact your Physician ASAP.
