[QUOTE="sugarshy, post: 1578235, member: 378044"] Thanks very much for your reply, feeling a bit more positive now :). I was given my results over the phone. I did ask about dropping my dose but was told that if I didn't hear back from the practice then to carry on taking the pills, I didn't here from them. The reason I am worried about Metformin is the info I've read about the risk of lactic Acidosis (I do have an alcohol habit), also Vitamin B12 deficiency and its consequences, apparently taking B12 pills makes little difference? Since changing diet and lifestyle my BS count as I mentioned has gone down, and also my weight from 18.5 stone to 15.5, this is good but cholesterol is up to 4.9. I would like to thank everyone that has commented and given advice and apologise if I don't answer, I'm just about to go away for a couple of days and struggle with using the forum on my mobile (and on my PC), I'm a bit of a technophobe, for a long time I thought a mouse mat was something you bought from a pet shop....
