    Type 2 Metformin and eyebrow waxing

    Nope, have not noticed that at all. And I get my brows down every few weeks. Maybe you're at a more sensitive time in your cycle?

    T2 Newbie - question about medication

    Tummy woes are assuredly because of metformin. That levels out after about two weeks, I found. You're not alone!!!!

    What did you eat for breakfest? Do you eat breakfest?

    I don't do breakfast at weekend or really any days I'm not working. It's spring break right now so I'm not teaching this week or next, I haven't had breakfast once during break. When I'm working, I usually have a Greek yoghurt plus a berry or a piece of fruit or an egg and sausage breakfast...

    At a complete loss

    HbA1C ought be done quarterly, according to my GP. Have you tried just getting a new doctor? Maybe ask for a referral to an endo? And I'd ring and harass the diabetes clinic until they see you. That's shocking they haven't yet and a poor job they're doing with you. Sometimes you just have to...

    Lost appetite

    I get that occasionally, but I find it's important to force yourself to eat a little something. It's not good to go 24 hours with nothing at all.

    Avocado everyday?

    Should i remove my Freestyle Libre sensor?

    I was wondering the same thing as @himtoo. My readers always stop working at 14 days. It even counts down the hours. My instinct would be to use it until it died, just to see how long it would keep going if it wasn't stopping at 14. But I wouldn't consider it accurate and I'd probably go back to...

    FREESTYLE LIBRE ON SALE!!!!

    In the UK, are Libres available in chemists or similar? I have a friend travelling there shortly who would be willing to pick me up some if they can swing into a storefront and grab them off the shelf.

    Do the sounds on anyone else's Libre come and go?

    I'll give that a try, thank you!!! I've emailed Abbott, so here's hoping they'll help me out if it does die!
