I've tried both tea and coffee without and I just can't get my head round the taste. It feels like there's something missing (well there is isn't there) and not worth the trouble. I'm not a great drinker of either one so I think the best thing to do is give it up altogether. Would solve my...

T2 is enough for me to handle at present. I've been on Metformin for ages and not had anything to complain about. Would like to be pill free by the Autumn as this lockdown is doing me a power of good. No tempting snacks, crisps or fizzy drinks. Think of all the money I'm saving. Just hope I can...
