Yes, I'm on metformin SR 1000mg x 2 daily. I also take 2 drugs for hypertension, one of which is a 2 in 1 with a diuretic. One good thing is seeing my bp drop from an average of 180/90 to 100/60 in the last 2 months and according to my app, my 3 month average BG is 6.6 mmol/l. I'm due to have my second HBA1C done on Monday so it's actually 3 months, not 2 months. 4 kg weight loss in 3 months of working really hard at it - it's very de-motivating. I was diagnosed with 2 consecutive fasting BGs of 19 and 20mmol/l (pathology results) and a "high" on the meter that my GP used. My 1st HBA1C was 8.9% or 11.2mmol/l if I recall correctly. I'm going to ask for print outs of all of my results when I go back to see the quack end of next week.
