[QUOTE="sharonsw, post: 223619, member: 38109"] Grazer - I have had the prescription since June and just got it a few weeks ago. I have been trying to diet but it's not an easy thing to do when you have no idea what works and what doesn't. I found when I was pregnant sometimes the usual things that are meant to be good weren't - porridge for instance gave me an awful result. I think my main problem is breakfast. Just seems my body reacts to this one meal and once it gets going for the day it's fine. The reason I started the metformin and statin was that I've been feeling a lot more tired and just a few other body type niggles that I didn't like. T2 is hereditary so my time bomb was ticking louder. The latest doctor I saw said go with 500mg morning and night and see what HBA1C in December says. See that's the other thing they tested in June and weren't going to test for 6 months. If they'd just done that and fasting sugars no-one would have been any the wiser. how often a day do you test? I'll get some more strips and see what my results are like. When pregnant I managed to diet control through the whole of my first pregnancy with testing regularly and up to 36 weeks with the second (was older see lol) [/QUOTE]
