[QUOTE="Kentoldlady1, post: 1629871, member: 414280"] Hell.and welcome. Its the pits, isn't it? All the advice above is good, and eating to your meter is essential, particularly at the beginning. A couple of things, if I may. Do you have any other health issues? Are you on any other medication? Do you have any weight to lose? Have you lost a great deal of weight recently without trying? Are the other members of your family t1d or t2d? It can help.to target advice, but of course dont answer if you think I am being too nosy! I have been on metformin since june, and I can honestly say I have not had any problems. A lot of people are just fine with it. It can be a useful drug, but it will not help overmuch with controling bgl in a big way. Diet is much more useful. Have you spoken to your gp about the thrush? My daughter has had this for ages, and her usual gp just gave her canestan. A locum saw her and put her on a 10 week intensive course. Not sure what, but will find out if you want? Its something you will have to ask for. But she is much better, 4 weeks in. And she has had thrush for months. Have a good read around the site. There is so much good info on here. Read a lot, and then ask questions. Keep posting! [/QUOTE]
