I will do

Thank you so much for that information I hadn't made the connection I was on metformin 850 twice daily but I felt nauseous all the time so around February it was decided to reduce the metformin and introduce Januvia I will make an appointment to see my doctor and see if I can resolve this thanks...

I am going on an xpert course for diabetes management just wondering if any of you had done this and would you recommend it thanks in advance Terri

I should have mentioned that I have been following the lchf diet and I have lost 2 stone 2 lbs and dropped my aic from 11.1 to 7.5 and now it's 6.8 I am afraid of going BACKWARDS so I was wondering if maybe I had become a bit too complacent Terri
