I think SR is probably best for me. I will try my doctor and see if he will let me change. I got a carrier bag full of Metformin (I get a review every 6 months and they save time) my HB1C was 120 and its down to 56 with Metformin and careful. Other tablets in my collection also might be...

Cheers Stephen, sounds like good advice. I will take them a sample so they can decide what do.

Wow. You did the right thing for and in the knowledge these two tablets are "tools" to get your BG levels and cholesterol back on a leash, decided not to take them and found that you personally (and I suspect with support from your GP) could do without them. I can eat absolutely nothing, my...

SIRD sounds serious. Beer does add a dimension (in Germany they call it liquid bread, so I tend to avoid). A1c of 40's sounds great. I did everything I was told to do, A1c of 56. Plummeting income after Covid means I am working 7 days to make ends meet. I think that is how I got to my A1c...

None taken at all. It is a good suggestion and have made a note of that one as it might be something to try.

I'm not allergic to them. I just need my life back, or some bicycle clips.

I will ask my GP if I can stop taking my Atorvastatin for a couple of days to see if this evil stops. I will also not drink 0% beer because it is still beer.

Rarely, last time was crimbo. Realise beer and ale include 0% alcoloh. Yes I had one a few weeks ago. Not bad. Could be contributory factor.

I eat pulses of all kinds, wholegrains and unrefined stuff. It's probably wrong, but provided I don't eat too much I might be ok. I got chromohaematosis (Celtic Disease) and that is why I am a type2 like the rest of my family, so that means you are meant to live on a diet of fish, grain and...

Same ones all the way through, they did change my statin a few months ago. I am exploring this avenue.

Breakfast: All-Bran and milk Lunch: predicted cheese and salad on wholemeal Dinner: not decided yet, something based on beans with salad in a wholemeal wrap

Hi 2 hours is quite a short time after eating a big load of carbs. 11.8 is high-ish, just dont do that too much. You know now to eat half the amount of that and you probably will test out just nice. Also can get rice that still has the husks on, and a little bit of that is OK too. There is...

Metformin is amazing, cut my BG from terrible to alright in 3 months, but needs to be taken with meals. A rumour is going around is that it also does odd things with statins. Bloating and upset, its just a rumour, so always consult your healthcare professional before changing your meds. I...

Another one who fights with their doctor. Mine is a nincompoop as well.

Yes I know. It didn't bother me all when I started. I do take it mid-meal, and if it doesn't stop happening I am going to my doc for some different ones. The last time I went I came back with a carrier bag of the stuff to last me until August, so I would not go back and annoy them again...

Ah..... I am taking Atorvastatin as well. This could be it. I think my cholesterol can cope for a week. I shall try an experiment. Thank you for the suggestion. Meanwhile I am going to take spare clothes to work & some fabreze

Yes - I usually take it mid-meal to try to insulate myself from it. I got told I can move my desk into the toilet by my friends at work.

This looks amazing. I can't eat fats because of my cholesterol.

Hi, I got diagnosed last year. I am doing my best to get from a HBA1c of 120 down to 45-50, after working hard its 56, so just about there. I am finding that metformin is becoming more and more of a problem, it causes my insides to blow up even when eating something quite tiny. If I stop...

I felt a bit of hostage for ages. The fact I have to work so damned hard to end up with very little to show for it. Now I cannot even escape with a really good takeaway curry and a beer. Nice of the NHS to tell me I can get into remission if I take Mounjaro or go on an expensive low carb...
