[QUOTE="Kernow Debra, post: 2627705, member: 577264"] Thanks everyone. Was prescribed Metformin, 1 tablet first week, 2 for 2nd and then three daily. 5mg Dapagliflozin daily, which got rid of a ridiculous amount of sugar And Atorvastatin which I stopped taking after 4 weeks. Leg cramps and muscle aches were just not worth it. My GP phoned me today to increase my Atorvastatin, she’s not happy with my cholesterol Has dropped from 7.5 to 5.5. Didn’t tell her I’d stopped taking it as I was irked she said I didn’t need a review as my hba is now normal. I’ve asked for a face to face so we can discuss meds. No mention of reducing Metformin or dapagliflozen, just up the statin. Was also surprised she didn’t ask how I’d reduced from 87 to 38. Obviously the meds have helped, but not that much! Am seeing DNurse next week. Sounds like GP has no further interest, which is not ideal after only 12 weeks. [/QUOTE]
