Lidl has low carb rolls?????? Really?

Jeeeeeez calm down - I wasn't questioning your numbers, I simply said that because - how some doctors expect you live like that for that length of time, with all the bad side effects is asking a bit much. Just writing down that 6 weeks= 42 days, just in case I forget.!!!!! [emoji36] thanks for...

30-60 days? I tried metformin for 6 and a half weeks til I could stick it no more. So far I'm controlling my bloods myself with a low carb diet, but my DN has mentioned the Bydureon injection, but I need to read up on it first. I'm happy to keep going as I am for now anyway.

Hi everyone, well, quick update, just back from seeing my DN, he really is a lovely guy, and very easy to talk too thankfully. So I showed him my bloods from the last 4 days from when I had stopped the metformin, and he says they were really good and to NOT go back on it. Yayyyyyyy. He said the...

Thanks so much everyone. So happy to have found this forum. In the past 4 days without metformin the highest my blood has been is 8.2 ( had a meal out, too much salad I think ) but all other times it's well below 7, at one point yesterday it was 6. I'm happy coming off metformin because I...

Just been prescribed Metabet. Do you think it will affect me the same way Bolamyn did.? It's the same medicine I guess

Hi Dizz, no I'm not on that. Just the metformin, which I've stopped now myself. Will see what they say on Friday.

I've been taking slow release and it's just awful.

Hi Geoffrey, the metformin they gave me is already slow release.

Hi everyone, I'm Debs. I'm 45, very overweight ( I have 7 stone to lose). I was diagnosed T2 6 weeks ago. Was feeling absolutely fine apart from repeated UTI's. Couldn't understand why I kept getting them, so went to GP and she said well just check your blood sugar. Came back as 13.2, even I...

My GP tried last year to tell me I was diabetic, and my result was 6.1, needless to say I told her where to go. Unfortunately they were a lot worse this year and I had to listen to her lololololololol

Thanks catLady I will do that this evening, when I get settled. Dizz I feel happy with them too, but I just wasn't sure what is classed as ' normal '. Even though I feel better having stopped the metformin, I don't want to be silly about it, if my results were classed as high, I would go back on...

Just read it, and all I can say is OH MY GOD. What will I do? I did my blood before breakfast and they were 6.9. Two hours after did them again and they are 7.9. Is 7.9 a worrying result?

Thanks Dizz. I go to see my DN on Friday and I just know that he won't be impressed that I've stopped them. He has been trying to get me to take the weekly injection, do you know anything about it?

For the last 4-5 weeks on metformin my bloods were ranging from 8-6.8/7, however, 3 days ago I stopped taking it, it was ruining my life, I just couldn't take anymore. In those 3'days my bloods have been 6.3,6.5,6.8 and once they were 7.2. I haven't taken metformin in 3 days and I feel fab.

I'm on Bolamyn and its ruining my life...... If you have any side effects, tell them you want to go back to your original.

I've been on 500 mg slow release for 6 weeks, symptoms still here [emoji26]

I've been low carbing for 6 weeks and on 500mg of metformin a day. Constant diarhheoa, and haven't lost an ounce, how does THAT work? [emoji20]

Hi everyone. I was put on metformin 500mg 1 a day, slow release 6 weeks ago. I have had nausea and diarrheoa every day. I have no quality of life anymore, I have no social life anymore as I can't risk leaving the house. I have been following a low carb diet and have stuck to it 100% for the past...
