To make my question clearer, the alternatives to Metformin available are: Actos Prandin Precose Januvia Invokana I am simply asking of experiences with these, so that I am aware of issues before the nurse makes any decisions for me. With ten percent of Metformin users being intolerant of it...

Hello, all, I don't get on with Metformin. According to the paperwork that comes with them, one in ten people don't. I am obviously one of those. I stuck at them for over three weeks, took a break, started again and suffered the same results after a few days. When I was prescribed them, I was...

I don't really think it was quite that way at my medical practice - just a case of "tunnel vision" (as my wife calls it) of the two separate people concerned that I had to see following a blood test which brought bad results on both counts. Not necessarily the best advice, though, I agree! John

Thank you again, all. I think I have now got over the initial impact, and feel much more positive about everything now. By pure coincidence I found the answer on onion last night on a television programme about manufacturing cornish pasties of all things! Packed with sugar, they said, as if it...

PS - just spotted a couple of new posts that somehow I hadn't noticed, sorry. Some nice ideas there on the salad front. I'm quite surprised about the coleslaw, for a long while I have been using the yoghurt-dressed version which I guess I don't have to abandon now after all. But I guess the...

Thanks, everybody, for being so patient. Life has quetened down a bit for the moment. Today I started on the Metaformin. This morning I have been doing some research on what I should and shouldn't consume. I hope nobody will be offended but I really don't think I should throw myself fully at...

I'm sorry, I need to take a breather. Two much is whizzing round my head - not only with this but other things too. I'll be back in a day or so. Please don't think I'm ungrateful, I really appreciate all your support and help. John

I have been doing some reading up and am still having trouble getting my head round things. At the Dietdoctor page linked to above it says I can eat "vegetables growing above ground" (which rather spoils last night's meal which had a nice range of leek, carrot and parsnip to accompany the quorn...

Thank you, everybody. Plenty there to take on board and follow up. I feel better already! To answer just one point, I was on statins years ago but stopped taking them. I was put back on them at the same time as the diabetes was diagnosed so there could well be a conflict there. Best regards to...

Hello, I would like help with diet - I have been given conflicting and un-supported instructions. I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes on New Year's Eve last year, after scoring 58 on the HB scale. I had none of the expected symptoms at all. I was therefore given another blood test two weeks...
