[QUOTE="Morgaine, post: 279466, member: 38463"] Hello Gobbo, and everyone :) I can't believe your GP can be so callous! (well I can actually) I was diagnosed 9 months ago, and put on Metformin. Even with a careful building up to a clinical dose, I had awful side effects and wondered what 'I'd let myself in for' by being diagnosed. (no choice except to accept it really as I later realised) I think I am very lucky as I get a good service from my GP and the Diabetic Nurse. I was offered a day with other newly diagnosed T2's within a couple of weeks following diagnosis, which I found very helpful. My nurse changed the Metformin to the SR (slow release) which I can tolerate better. Others here have offered you good advice, so please go back and talk to someone at the practice. I would even consider changing practice to a more enlightened one if that were possible. Everyone here is supportive and speaking for myself although obviously can't change anything for you, I can add to the list of people offering you that support. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
