I have my bloods done every year and this third year it's come back as 55mmol it's not as good as my other two and I've tried so hard with exercise and diet. I eat more healthier than most people i know and exercise more than most people I know. My question is, should I be worried about this...

I've been on metformin for18 months not had a single problem. I have learnt though that I have to take it sandwiched between food i.e. Mouthful, tablet, mouthful. If I don't I get nauseas.

I'm not going to stop eating naughty things. I try really hard but I fail. I've recently discovered Nakd bars and Metcalfs skinny popcorn. I only have salted popcorn not sweet. Are these ok for a snack? Must be better than what I was eating?

Does anyone knows if Metformin can cause anemia? I am so tired and keep getting chest infections

Does anyone else here do running? I run but am finding it very hard. I've been doing it now for a year and so no advice on gradually building up please just strictly T2D related. Do my muscles work as they should because I'm finding myself in pain when i run, no injuries or strains as it goes...

I'm sorry to hear what you're going through. Was your husband very bad and did he take insulin? You see I was diagnosed after having it for about 6 months and no damage to anything. I dont have to take injections either so I'll be ok right?
