Thanks CatLadyNZ, actually the pharmacist did say they are going to give me another call to see how I am getting along with it, so I'm going to ask them. I took one this morning with no ill effects at work... so here's hoping!! Thanks again guys x

Thank you so much. Many thanks for the link too, I'm the same, if it got too much research stuff to trawl through I give up reading it. I've spoke to a diabetic at work too and he says it may not be good to take both together and I should persevere with taking one in morning and one in the...

Thanks so much for all your replies, interesting reading. Well I've tested and tested and what an eye opener for some foods I eat. Sometimes what you think won't cause an increase certainly does. Whilst I'm in 'test' mode it is certainly giving me a good insight into how my diet affects my...

Thanks everyone, I shall await @daisy1, cheers

That's great, thanks, yes I'm type 2 diet/exercise and have just started on Metformin 500mg for two weeks then increase to 1000mg.

I am type 2 and having read many posts on here about whether or not to buy a monitoring meter I have. Its probably been asked 10000s of times on here but how often should I be testing and when during the day? Many thanks.

Thanks for your advice, I will certainly watch for those symptoms too. Thanks again.

That's great, thank you. I do have some hydrocortisone cream so will put that on. I will also stop taking it as within the last have hour two more have surfaced! Thanks again for your help x

I've been on Merformin 5mg for five days now and although I feel ok I have massive bite like lumps on my back, another has come up tonight and one on the side of my face. Has anyone else experienced this? Maybe just a coincidence but they are so itchy!!!!

I self fund all my testing too, have just ordered my meter etc. Gateshead Health Authority don't issue anything now.

Hi, thanks for the responses, I sleep like a log at night (apart from getitng up 2-3 times for toilet) but straight back to sleep all the way until the alarm goes off. I've had bloods done this morning so I await their results. I have muesli and banana usually for breakfast, salad and tuna...

Hi, many thanks for adding me to this group. After being pre-diabetic for a number of years I have now crossed the line and have been diagnosed with Diabetes Type 2. Although I do not feel physically unwell, I am extremely tired. I work full time but really in danger of falling asleep at...
