hi , iv been metformin for 3 weeks , and type 2 , i have been very poorly for over a year , no energy , feeling sick , bed ridden ,and not eating properly, a few mouthfuls and that's it , im also on rheumatoid medication , and steroids , the dr said i could have become diabetic due to steroid or because of a under active thyroid , what id like to know is why did it take so long for my symptoms to come out , my blood glucose levels were 29.9 , and yesterday was 5.9 but today its 9.4 , i had been presenting signs for a while and yet my dr didn't pick it up , it was because i become so poorly on holiday that as soon as i came back of the plane i went straight to the drs my self ,
