I had exactly the same experience at Easter operation staying in hospital on a sliding scale. Very much the same

I have to take the SR metformin as I cannot take the normal metformin it makes me throw up. I even thought I was pregnant at one stage till they changed it.

I also drink Pepsi Max all of them best drink doesn't have that sweetener taste. It maybe bloating me out though ! [emoji848]

I also haven't been well recently. My Dr asked me has know one ever told you not to take your metformin when your not feeling well [emoji53]. For 16 years know one told me that. I took her advice and low and behold I felt better. Took 16 years to get good advice on a whim if her mentioning it.

Hi guys not been well recently. For the first time in 16 years on metformin and insulin. A Dr has informed me not take my metformin when not well. I'm very surprised [emoji50]

Try Glucology an excellent diabetic website which provides everything needed to equipped every need you could possibly have very well recommended [emoji106][emoji3][emoji108]

Oh dear this looks very good on the TV. I was thinking about getting one myself.

I'm using palmdoc talking meter and palmdoc lancet pen and needles.

Humalog 25 mix. It's very good for me keeps my readings steady. I am happy with it just sometime its drops a little low. Which isn't a problem just plain crackers and tea a suggestion by my dietitian is very plain. Last night it was 4.4 I had 4 rivita and a light smattering of orange and ginger...

Where do I go to fill in my profile ?

Yes I'm on insulin and metformin.

I often get a blood sugar reading of 4.4 to 5.2. So have to have a snack before sleeping. Not so sure about crackers and tea. Any suggestions ???

This is ironic I'm type 2 and is taking slow release metformin and my hair has been thinning too. Have taken metformin before but didn't experience it before. Must check the make of it
