Hi folks.
I came to take my first Metformin tablet this morning. As I do with any new medication, I read the leaflet before I took a tablet.
I was puzzled to find that the tablets were to be taken by type 2 'sufferers' who had failed to respond to diet changes.
So I wondered why my doctor hadn't decided to put me on some kind of diet , before writing out the prescription. I also note that the tablets are not good for anyone who has had heart failure problems; which my doctor claims I have, about two years ago.
I didn't take a tablet, and will be seeking a further appointment next week to discuss this. Just hoping I did the right thing,.
I changed my eating habits as of yesterday, when I got home. I suppose I better not tell my doctor what I am easting though, as she might not agree with low-carb. Now I am going to prepare a nice poached salmon with salad.
cheers folks.
John
