Hi everyone
Not been on for awhile, hope your all ok
So had my yearly review the other day and my Hba1c is 76mmol and the doctor said that she wants me to go on metformin
And I politely asked her to wait until I processed what she was saying and also speak to the nurse and my partner about it
I’m just not sure
I don’t like the idea of adding a chemical to my body that, inhibits my body’s natural response
Or is that crazy talk?
I also asked the doctor about the LibreLink, about getting it on prescription and she said that basically you can only get it if I’m on insulin
Whilst I agree with what she said
Surely putting people who have T2 on a LibreLink to help them manage the sugar levels before they advise them to go on metformin.
I did it use it but it’s expensive!!
Lockdown hasn’t been kind and I’ve got lower back issues on my L4 and L5 and have been referred to a consultant as I use to do kung fu and now I feel
I’m at risk of injuring my back further as I would like to go to the gym but I know I can’t
I don’t know I’m just a bit confused really and was helping some people
Might to give me some friendly advise
I know the decision is ultimately mine at the end of the day
Thanks
