It's a daily nightmare, but I'm glad to know I'm not alone.

Thanks for your reply. No actually I was put on Glimepride and 2 x Metformin at my first appointment after diagnosis. Don't know why and didn't ask. I just assumed the GP knew what he was doing. Later, a third Metformin was added and I've been on that dosage for about a year. I'm sure my BS...

Thank you so much for your wonderful words of support. It is really a problem of mine due to a deeper seated problem from childhood and I know I have to get myself in check, self-sabotage is a horrid, horrid habit to have and I do it in so many ways every day. I have had episodes in my life when...

I am ashamed to say I have been cheating (cheating myself obviously) by regularly snacking on carbs and lots and lots of sugary things. I have depression (taking fluoxetine) and, no excuse, but comfort eating is a downfall of mine I'm sorry to say. However, I am surprised that this sugar binge...

Chill a bit for goodness sake! We have to get some humour out of this awful condition.

Can anyone tell me why I have to take both Metformin and Glimeperide? I am gaining weight as a side effect of the Glimeperide (I think) and struggle not to hypo. No-one every tried just Metformin first. I was immediately put on both. Any thoughts or knowledge anyone? Thank you

Thank you so much for your advice. I think more than anything the thought of losing my eyesight has made me face up to changing my diet. I am still finding it all a bit of a nightmare and strangely enough I was once a registered nurse who sometimes gave advice to others about diabetes. Once I...

Newly diagnosed t2 and my vision is really blurred. Am told it will rectify itself when my diabetes is controlled but would love some reassurance from others this has happened to. Am on glimeperide and metformin.
