Hello
I was diagnosed type 2, a couple of months ago, and put straight on Metformin - which is permanently screwing my stomach - even the slow release ones. My nurse has been adamant, on day one & again today that I can't control with diet & exercise - and won't let me even try! As well as Metformin I have now been prescribed something else.
My question, has anyone stopped taking medication, against 'professional' advice and successfully controlling type 2 with diet & exercise, etc?
Thank you.
