Hello.
I have been working on my type 2 diabetes by diet and exercise (as much exercise as possible since I have had a stroke) and was managing to keep my level around 48.
However, the last blood test was 54 and the GP has decided to put me on to metformin and increased my statins from 20mg to 40mg.
Additionally following the death of a cousin earlier in the year to pancreatic cancer I discovered from relatives that there's a history of pancreatic cancer in the family going back several generations. Having conveyed this information to my GP earlier in the year, I think it has also influenced his decision about my now taking medication.
It is simply that I am already on meds because of my stroke, my neurological movement disorder, my generalised anxiety disorder/OCD, and now THIS! Hopefully there's not interaction between any of them (again).
Anyway I am still trying to get my head around it, and for now, just wanted to say "Hi".
