[QUOTE="Mose, post: 926114, member: 202985"] I'm T2 and I am on insulin and Met. As others have said this is about COST not what is good for the patient. That stroppy 111 Doctor needs a rollicking. Metformin SR gives me the guts ache ( the guts rumbles sound very loud) It also give me the eartha kitts after taking it. I'm better of with insulin only. I have been testing for a number of years even before being diagnosed and I find that my fasting is always high ( dawn phenomenon?) but the rest of that day is adequate. Before, when I was pre diabetic, supposedly, my HBA1c was good, and still is. So I am not sure why docs are so hung up on the fasting test as a diagnosis. [/QUOTE]
