Doctor is happy for me to come off it, I’ve got about 4 weeks worth left at 1 500mg tab a day wondered if I show finish them off or flush them down the toilet

Thanks if I can do it anyone can

An update spoke to doctor today he’s happy for me to come off metformin, and would like to use me as an example to his other diabetic patients, with my permission first, I replied of course I’d be honoured

Hi my sister was diagnosed type 2 recently and told she needed to change diet and take metformin, she’s not keen on medication so is going down the diet route alone. I brought her a gluco meter, but her diabetic nurse has advised her not to use one, only if she was on medication. I was told not...

39 despite weekly cheat days with a cholesterol of 4.7 exactly the same as back in January Nurse said I should be proud. I want to stop my metformin now, but she told me to speak to my doctor first, but doesn’t see any reason why I shouldn’t come off it now

I live in London, this was the nurse who recommended I take the Statin I’m yet to discuss it with doctor...

Had my diabetic review today and was told that I may have to take a statin tablet for cholesterol as it’s now government guideline for all diabetics. My last cholesterol check was 4.7 and it should be under 5. Will discuss with doctor, when I get next HB1AC result, really want to come off all...

When diagnosed fasting blood glucose was 14.9 with a HB1AC of 110. Last HB1AC was 39 and my finger tests were always 5 fasting and 5.5 two hours after meals. I admit to having been naughty and cheating at weekends my fasting levels have been between 6-7 in the morning and roughly the same after...

Having them with my breakfast half a tin with eggs mushrooms and sausages, 7.2 carbs per half tin going to give it a few days and check with gluco meter if tolerating them well, tomatoes are acceptable according to diet doctor, although does it include tinned variety as tinned fish is recommended.

I would avoid bread, rice, pasta and potatoes

Lower the HB1AC the better ideally below 40, never heard of anyone having as low as 10 though

I found this on accu chek which explains it now https://www.accu-chek.co.uk/tools-and-resources/average-blood-glucose-and-the-hba1c-test

I’m finding my average recently has been 6.0, this means according to the chart I found a HBA1C of 42 but by the calculator on this site 35.9. I’m confused is mmol the measurement of finger prick results?

Wondered is it possible to predict HbA1c from finger prick results came across this chart, but don’t know how accurate it is. When I was diagnosed my fasting blood glucose was 14.9 and my HbA1c 110, on my most recent HbA1c of 39 my finger prick results on my gluco meter were between 5.0 to 6.0...
