Up early thanks to the urchins! It’s 5.8 today, which I think is 6 in a row under 6.
Today is also 2 months since diagnosis. Feels like longer.
Today though I get to focus on my poorly mum- I’m taking her to the clinic to have her eyes looked at: she has cataracts forming following chemotherapy.

@rhubarb73 The hug is for your mum, you are doing well at 2 months.
Mr sun has shown his power about 3 hrs earlier today here so hot, hot hot on the menu. Squeaky bum time for dropping metformin for me - another over the threshold (5.5) at 5.7 after promising initial run of sub 5s. Mrs P has had a virus and I may have a touch of it plus, unrelated to hot weather, sleep hrs have tailed off. Resting pulse now getting back to good levels at 59 so maybe time to admit defeat and return to metformin.

3.6, stay safe everyone.

Metformin is just another tool in the T2 tool box why not use it if it does the job. Thats if you can tolerate it without the nasty side affects.

@JohnEGreen I can tolerate it well and I agree it is another tool plus it is supposed to have other beneficial side effects. I partly wanted to see what happened "flying solo" and partly wanted to untangle it from vitamin b12 issues and MCV values. B12 and folate fine MCV a touch over normal after full bloods last week. I may wait a week before restarting but 5.7 is not where I am comfortable personally.

@OrsonKartt thank you

Funnily enough my MCV is fairly high my folate is low but my B12 is normal

It's a bit low, no hypo awareness so double trouble lol.
