Metformin only, 2 tablets a day.

Just had my blood and urine test results. All results are within the normal range. My past Hba1c results: Nov 2022 - 135 Mar 2023 - 41 Aug 2023 - 35 Oct 2024 - 34 I am happy with the results because I had more carbs and eat out more in the last few months. Booked to see my DN next month, I...

Had both jabs last Saturday, same as last year only feel a bit unwell the following day after the injections but all fine after taken one ibuprofen. No change to BG level, this morning at 8:30 was 5.5. Had breakfast around 9:30 and just tested now show 5.2.

Don't panic and take your time to learn and adjust your lifestyle changes. My hba1c was much higher than yours and managed to bring it down to 41 mmol after 3 months. Also, I just met a colleague of mine at work last night who just diagnosed with T2 with her hba1c 100mmol. We both have...

Don't panic and take your time to adjust the lifestyle changes. My hba1c was even higher than yours at 135 but managed to bring it down to 41 after 3 months. I don't count how much g of carbs I eat but I do eat more vegetables + lean meats, only small handful of carbs and stopped all sweetie...

Gerry, I am also on metformin since I was diagnosed late 2022, I haven't experienced any issues after taking it. Also I managed to bring my hba1c to down 41mmol after 3 months after cutting out sugar, less carbs and more exercises. We are all different so you need to find your own ways to...

Many thanks, I don't mind to do blood test twice or once a year but just like to see if it is okay to do so. Also, the reason for test is to see if I am I am doing things right or need to improve. I know my body and BG level are much better now than I was diagnosed 18 months ago. Morning BG...

I called my GP recently as my last blood test was done in August last year and the reception said the last test was good and I don't need another test or see the nurse untill Aug/Sept this year. My understanding is that for T2 should have a blood test every 6 months once the BS is stable, so...

My first hba1c test was 135 on 29 Nov last year and my GP called me for an appointment after he saw the result, the second test was taken on 14 Mar the result was 41 but no call or feedback from my GP since I met him last Dec.:p

yes, I am still on medication, I tried to ask my GP about this but seems he misunderstood my online request and only reviewed my BG results. It is not easy to get a face-to-face appointment but he does reply to online requests quickly so I will try again.

Keep it up. I was 104kg around Easter last year and BMI was 36. Around 85kg when I was diagnosed last Dec and now 75kg BMI 26, aim to lose a few more kg by end of this year. My weight started to go down for a few months last summer to 94kg. However, I did not pay much attention until I...

Not easy to get a face to face appointment unless it is urgent but sending a request to the doc online he usually reply by end of next day. Can be quicker if I call and leave a message to the reception. I will ask if my doc happy to reduce the medication. Regarding remission I don't think I...

I was diagnosed last Dec and start taking two 1000mg metformin a day, my hba1c was 135 last November, March blood test 41 and latest test 35. Nurse said I am doing well but did not mention about my medication. Should I book an appointment to see my GP for a review?

It really take time to adjust and took me weeks to overcome when I was diagnosed T2 last December. I was also confused and worried when gp told me my random blood result was bad and my blood suger was 13.9. from that day I am having two metformin tablets a day, low carb diet and regular...
