Thank you

Yeah when I stopped. Nurse was happy with everything at my check up just before. Then moved house and my wife had a baby. Recently no i wasn't trying. Hadn't really accepted to myself I'd gained a lot of weight

Hi, I'm 36, I work night's and am active during the day so sleep poorly/infrequently. The tests in July 17 told me to take metformin for 3 months then retest. July was 40 then October was 33 so nurse told me to stop metformin and come back if any issues. No problems until started feeling...

Hi all, Few weeks back had gone to drs about feeling unwell. Blood sugars were high and was already on metformin from the July previously hba1c was 40 then. Turns out my liver and kidneys in that time have deteriorated by 50%. Dr stopped metformin and put me on 100mg sitagliptin. This combined...

6.1, 6.4 and 6.6 last three mornings. Last week was 8-9 every morning.

Yeah my father and brother are diabetic the latter suffering quite badly and he's not heard of them. I'm on my third dose it's easier remembering just one a day than metaformin. Plus the stomach ache and diarrhoea have gone. Not sure how long it will take for the metaformin to get out of my system.

7.1 lowest so far

Hi all, Got blood test results today. Dr wasn't concerned with blood sugars but an increase in Liver and Kidney function from last year. He suspects it could be the metaformin tablet so has changed the medication to sitagliptin 100mgs once a day instead of metaformin 500mg twice a day. Anyone...

At 5.30 9.6. Then half an hour later 7.6? Still significantly lower than they have been recently

Hi everyone, Someone recommended this supplement in my first thread and I was wondering if anyone else had tried it and if it had any positive/ negative effects. I'm currently awaiting blood test results on Tuesday. Cut massively down on carbs this week but really struggling with meal...

9.8 @6AM

Had my blood tests today

As I described to the GP it isn't a pain as such its more an ache discomfort no affect on my breathing or tightness etc and its not always in the same place however most frequent is directly in the centre of my chest. I took metaformin last year for a few months without issue? weighed today...

Sorry for my ignorance but what are Statins?

Just metaformin. The decrease from the days before was noticeable.

After doing some reading on here today. I ate less carbs. My blood sugars on waking were 8.7 which is low compared to recently. I had bacon and eggs for breakfast. My bloods later were 10.8 again lower than rest of week. At lunch 2 chicken breasts I took 2 metaformin by accident took one while...

Because of the pains in my chest and arms I've been sm really stressed. I work long hours and sleep poorly. I'll look for this supplement I'd pay anything for the neuropathy to ease. Thank you

This all sounds very familiar. I'm going to mention it to the nurse tomorrow.

I probably do have a high carb diet atm I'm planning to go back to the gym and I'll have to look into which changes are going to give the best results. I'm hoping it's just taking home to balance back out now I'm taking the medication correctly.

I'm really worried these blood sugars have been uncontrolled for over a year but only noticed when it's come to a head recently. I do have a poor diet I work nights and lots of hours and then have my son most days. As I mentioned earlier I used to go to the gym fairly regularly but that also...
