I think I'm fine now and I'm not aware that he wants me to lose more. Is that one of the effects of Metformin? I'm not taking one today anyway. I'm too tired and I don't want to risk vomiting and the runs!!
Oh gosh. I still haven't taken a tablet. I'm scared of the side effects. I know it's only 1 per day to be taken with my biggest meal (which one is that? I eat like a bird!) but I'm still scared. I feel that my "little helpers" on here have left me, probably because they're sick to death of me but I'm genuinely trying to get the courage up. Maybe if my children were around it might be better. Neither of them live that close but they're both away on holiday anyway. What sort of wimp is this, coming out of an otherwise very strong woman. Strong because I've had to be.
@AndBreathe, thank you so much. I read that and the link and took a few minutes out to ponder. I don't think you were harsh at all. It was all very helpful thank you.
It's true about my Consultant. He's very good and I'm surprised too that I didn't just get on with it. When he was prescribing them, he said if I had any side effects, to leave it for 3 days and then try again. I asked if I could have the slow release tablets but he said he doesn't like them.
I'd taken a list of questions with me which he read but didn't reply to, only to say that he'd read them. I'm assuming he will address them in his letter. Your interpretation of his decision is spot on. He is trying to reverse it for me by fine tuning.
I do feel cheated that I didn't reverse it by diet but as he said, if everyone worked as hard at their diabetes as I have, he'd have an almost empty clinic.
So yes, that, from you, is just the kick up the backside that I needed. I WILL try them but I don't promise it will be today. I take so many tablets, it's like a Pharmacy in here. I can't do anything about the Strokes, the Pernicious Anaemia, (I hope the Metformin doesn't affect that) or the Hashimoto's but I maybe can do something about the diabetes and that's why I've tackled it head on up until now. I can do it!!
Thank you do much. You maybe don't know how much I appreciate your reply.

Thank you for the Bulletproof coffee. I'd assumed it was a way of making a big standard mug of instant coffee. I shall have to see where I can buy that. It sounds yummy with the butter in it
