Hi to you all, I had my last lot of bloods done in August 2012, and was told I am progressing nicely. Imagine my surprise last Monday to find an answer phone message from my clinic saying "they have reviewed my bloods and have decided to drop my metformin from 2 a day to 1 at breakfast." This just happenss to tie in with my request for a repeat prescription.
So, like a good boy, I started taking 1 a day from then, (I will have to, they have already altered my script for collection).
Now the good bit, from Thursday onwards I am feeling hungry, even though my diet has not altered, i am feeling sleepy and lethargic, and I am getting irritable and tetchy, ie losing my temper, not something I have done for a long while.
I am also noticing my eyesight is a little more fuzzy and not as clear, ie struggling with my varifocals.
I know it is not my imagination as my wife has made various comments over the weekend as to my changes.
I really want to cut down on the meds but feel this is not right. I took some readings this morning and compared them to some old ones and I am 1.5 to 2 mm0ls up on all my readings. Just feeling this cant be right. :sick:
