[QUOTE="EveryCloud, post: 685341, member: 133463"] I have an appointment with the doc soon and I don't know what to ask. I am still off work and will be until after Christmas. I am still getting very confused with day to day things and my job requires me to be on the ball. I am on Metformin 4 500mg a day. I just don't feel any different, I have been reducing carbs but my BG always seems to be around 10, even though I was told not to test, I still do, some days it shoots up to 14. What other meds can I ask about? I want to ask about insulin but I still have a love hate feeling about it. I know it is inevitable but it still frightens me a little. I am also going to need my BP meds upped as my BP is still kinda high 150/90. I was also told I would be put on statin. I was also recommended to take a vit b complex because of the effects of metformin. I hate this waiting game, I just want to shake my doctor sometimes and yell 'Fix me!' lol. Oh another question, I was told that from a recent blood test my iron was high... Is this a diabetes thing? [/QUOTE]
