- Greedy Humans.....greedy animals I don't mind. I do like meat and fish but choose not to eat it!
I have been on Metformin since diagnoses; 2x500mg per day for the first 3 years then 1x500mg per day for 1 year then off Metformin totally for 6 months.
Suddenly blood sugar went up considerably and I was put on 4x500g daily. I take 2x500mg with evening meal though still reading 9-12 two hours after. Not on a very low carb diet but certainly considerably less carbs per day than the recommended amount. (Dietician advised me I should be eating a lot more carbs.) My BMI is 22.4.
Phoned private hospital this morning to book in for blood tests;
GAD £23.69 3 DAYS
IA-2 £41.50 15 DAYS
IAA £49.00 7 DAYS
Total cost is = £114.19 + £25 phlebotomy / nursing fee - = £139.19
