Hi
My friends husband was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes a few months back and was put on METFORMIN since then he is putting weight on like theres no tomorrow, not being able to eat much at all and he has a terrible taste in his mouth, but his sugar levels hardly seem to drop below 10. He went to his G.P last week and told him about it but he did'nt seem to be worried about it. My friend is getting abit worried about it more than what he is to be honest. But to top thing off he also suffers with blackouts which does'nt help things. Does anyone have any advice i could pass onto her of what she should do, i am a type 1 diabetic so i am not to sure about the tablets for type 2.

Any advice would be appriciated
Thanks

Tracey,

I would suggest that your friends hubby should change his doctor pretty soon. Sounds like he either doesn't know much about diabetes or is simply not interested enough!
