[QUOTE="Erin, post: 925053, member: 33777"] Hmmmm.... When I was first treated for Diabetes 2, I was given 3 tablets of Metformin (huge dose) and instructed to exercise and be on a diet (3 months or so). For some reason I did not reach a good number; infact the number was something like 17 so they had to add a sulfanurea drug which definitely lowered the blood glucose. This doctors may have confronted paitents who were not so advanced in diabetes as I was and it does sound like there is an economic need. I am very sorry to hear this, and I would not be surprised if the same problem will spread all over the world. Frankly, I do not understand the diabetic epidemic, especially as it has spread to poor countries. [/QUOTE]
