Thank you so much everyone. I got the sr today so will try it tonight. Going back to work tomorrow and if it is still as bad I will stop it til after my holiday. I think i am just so focused to getting in control of everything I forget that I actually have a choice.

I finally managed to get the SR and so i plan to take it with dinner rather than breakfast so i dont have to take another til after work tomorrow and hopefully get any “episodes out of the way before work. Does that sound realistic?

11.i this morning. Not taking metformin today as getting changed to Slow release and will take later.

Do you have indigestion before?

It will be mixed with food in your belly so what’s the difference?

Hi, My fasting blood sugar was 9 point something first thing and has remained about 10 before meals and as high as 11 2hours after. So no great spikes. I have been doing low carb as best I can for 5 days now but sugars still too high. How long can I expect it to take before it is a normal...

Thank you, yes i am a newbie. 5 5 days into metformin so i will ask for SR on Monday. I suppose i am being really impatient and panicking a little as i am off work not getting paid because i was off with breast cancer for a year. All the treatments gave me fatigue and then I discover I have t2...

Wow , well done on tackling this first time round and you are nowhere near where you started so you dont have so far to go. I do find that kicking a habit or getting into new habits for a second time is so difficult so I hear you. And looking after your folks must be very stressful and...

Cheap supplements can be a waste of money. The more reputable brands, Solgar , and the like use more bio available products so your body can absorb them more easily and you get the dose you are aiming for. Patrick Halfords Immune C is very good in my experience. Don’t forget that Vitamin C...

Dr said I don’t need to. I don’t agree so am wondering when is best to do it, how often , and other than getting a number, what do you do with the results in terms of food that I can have on low carb diet. Also Dr said as my HBa1c is 98 my target would be in 50’s as opposed to normal range...
