Hi Everyone
I've been away from the forum for a while. I thought I could manage this on my own and that it wasn't really happening.
HOWEVER, I can't and it is!! My GP wants me to start on metformin, the pharmacist said that she felt the GP's were very quick to put people on medication and told me to get a second opinion. My bg have risen a bit but I have been very stressed lately (lost my dad, new grandchild and very busy in work) and I wondered whether that's why they're up because I'm eating the same things (mostly low carb).
I wondered if you can go on metformin for a while and then come off it if your bg's come down again or are you on it forever once you start?
