[QUOTE="Sugarless Keith, post: 219010, member: 37547"] My father was type 1 diabetic & as a result of a routine examination & blood tests I was diagnosed as type 2 in January with an HbA1c of 7.9, I was sent away to diet & excersize I did very little initally but then made an effort and lost 1/2 a stone but it seems this was too little too late. Currently my HbA1c is at 8.4 I am 44 yrs old, 114 kgs & 6'2" tall (BMI of 32.25, Obese) & I have been prescribed Metformin (500mgs per day for two weeks then increasing in stages to 3 x 500mgs) I'm fairly happy with the surgery except for not being told that I'm eligble for free prescriptions, the pharmasist put me right on that and also I was told by the nurse that I MUST inform DVLA & my insurance company (thankfully this excellent site put me right on that score & I now know that I don't need to) I've a feeling that I'm going to be a regular visitor to this site to answer the multitude of questions I have.
