I was diagnosed type 2 in September 2008. I have managed to avoid medication, with diet and exercise, till December 2014 when I was put on Metformin 3 x 500 a day because of an increase in sugar levels. I was so disappointed as not being on medication gave me a real incentive to keep working hard diet and exercise wise to avoid medication
Metformin didn't agree with me. I was frightened to go out the house if there wasn't a loo close by. After a blood test in April I went to see the diabetic nurse who told me that my levels had gone up yet again but she did appreciate my loo problem and put me on slow release Metformin. I feel a different person. I have a blood test next week with a follow up appointment with the nurse a week later.
I have tried so hard but sugars go up. I don't feel Metformin does anything for me. I need to get my head round Metformin but can't.
Any comments please would be great. I feel so deflated and worried.
