    Metformin and B12 deficiency

    I have had half the initial treatment, and actually am surprised at how rough I actually did feel (without realising it and putting it down to other things). I still get some tiredness though

    Diabetes in the news

    I must confess my morning blood sugars are ALWAYS high, and the hospital has said my control is as good as it can get.

    You are so right, we do put things down to anything else, don't we?

    I love nothing more than grilled mackerel or sea bass, Or the smoked mackerel for breakfast I eat meat too

    Metformin and B12 deficiency

    I have been on Metformin for years, then progressed to insulin (along with metformin). I guess its like asking how long is a piece of string.

    Well done, I see you have halved your hba1c! My uncle was type two and overweight, but then got stomach cancer and lost the weight and is now diabetes-free, and in fact, is being encouraged to eat all the stuff that is bad for you to put some weight on.

    I recall taking trays of drink up to bed (after I had had my accident and before diagnosis), I could have drunk the sea dry!

    In one word, what symptom made you realise you had diabetes? For me, it was the Thirst

    Metformin and B12 deficiency

    I'm glad you're feeling better Hotpepper 20000, my first injection is next week, and then it'll be a juggle to get the next appointment I guess.

    Metformin and B12 deficiency

    Hi Rachbox, apparently once diagnosed with it there is no option apart from the injections. On hindsight and with the knowledge I would have taken a vit B12 tablet too.

    Metformin and B12 deficiency

    Thanks Hotpepper20000! I read you inject into a muscle, I bet that hurts? Do you start to get symptoms near the end of the three months? I think I will be getting to do it at home, as it is on my repeat prescription list after the initial six injections.

    Metformin and B12 deficiency

    I eat a varied diet, but am a vegetable dodger I admit. Although I do eat them but more fruit and tinned pulses and beans etc.
