I take thyroxine for an underactive thyroid. I was diagnosed diabetes type 2 just over a year ago but just borderline as first
test 50 second test 48. I was not given medication although metformin has been mentioned. I found this forum and have
taken the advice to low carb and have lost just over 2 stone amazing given i had never managed before. I still have several
more stones to lose but i have stalled for a little while now. Last check with DN blood pressure was up my main concern is
if i am expected to take Metformin and or another tablet for blood pressure that i make a wise choice. Thanks to this forum
i know to ask for Metformin SR. I did not see the GP when diagnosed have managed by seeing DN changed my diet.
My thyroid is reasonable at the moment but obviously does not help me to lose weight my main concern is not to over mix
any medication not totally sure what the GP will suggest just wondered if anyone had same problems and had found a way
forward.
