[QUOTE="knopfler, post: 235726, member: 39599"] Hello everybody,just an update on things.Because i feel i need to rely on alcohol to help me with my nerves i took the decision to stop taking the metformin.I got myself a blood glucose meter along with the lancets & strips as my gp refused to let me have any.I have been on a low carb diet which aint been easy at times but i have stuck to it & done my best to stick to 130g a day.I have done 3 tests up to now & my readings have been 4.2 4.3 & 4.8.I am also doing sit ups to try & get my waistline down & an hour a day on my treadmill.I cannot believe how i am now to a few months ago & i realise i have to keep this up for life but i feel so much better for it.When i was first diagnosed i was frightened to death but i want to thank you all on this website for the fabulous help & advice you gave me as it was so needed.I know it's a long road ahead but knowing you are all there makes it a hell of a lot easier.Thank you guys,you're all amazing!!! :D [/QUOTE]
