Been type 2 since March 2014 and HBA1C is steadily creeping up. Currently 55mmol. Also have chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Recently read that metformin has a good effect on CLL as in destroys the cancerous lymphs so could be a win win for me. My question is though, in terms of the diabetes, at what point should I expect the DN to suggest it? She keeps telling me I'm fine but I do self test and know that I have lots of highs and lows which worries me. I think she is holding out as once on treatment I will get free prescriptions. Or maybe thats the old cynic in me
