Rocky, it is a personal decision, if you are satisfied with numbers in the 100's maybe think about cutting down on the met.  I didn't even think about it until my A1c was in the 4% range for a couple of years.  I knew for sure by then that I had my dietary choices in line with normal blood sugar levels. I had dropped down to 500 mg/day for the last 6 months.  I dropped it totally last year in March 3 years after dx. No rush to stop the met, let it help you get control then decrease slowly.

T-2 dx 2/2012 FBG 243 A1c 9.5%  A1c 6/12  5.7%  A1c 4% 7/13 to 12/16
12/16 5.1%  6/18 5.3%  6/19 5.7%  6/20 5.7%  7/21 5.2%  8/22 5.5%  7/23 6% 7/24 6.8%
Off meds 3/2015  Back on meds 7/2024 w/better diet
