[QUOTE="Starbuck28, post: 1577673, member: 166512"] Hi Wren88 Firstly try not to let the diagnosis be the end of your life - and try not to read and believe every article or opinion you see on line. I am very lucky and have excellent support from My GP and the surgery where they have a dedicated Diabetic nurse. Firstly If your GP surgery has one of those make an appointment to see her, or if you have a diabetic clinic locally ring them to make an appointment to see the specialist diabetic nurse. As someone here has suggested some GPs are a bit out of the loop or unawares of treatments etc. Often high sugars is an indication of the fact insulin is building in your body - despite belief this will not destroy your pancreas, being diabetic means that either your pancreas doesn't produce insulin or produce rubbish insulin, in the case of the later it will eventually wear out and as your GP says "die" It is highly likely that if you are as she refers to it a "true" diabetic then Metforin will not really help to reduce huge sugar levels but could help as part of a Insulin , Metformin regime. I actually hate the term True Diabetic as it muddy the waters as there actually are many different forms of Diabetes and no one size fits all with regards to treatment. You can help yourself by eating less Simple Carbs or eating complex carbs instead. Work out which time is best for you for certain meals i.e.; if it is best to have a big meal evening or lunch time (don't eat till you are stuffed as your body will turn it all to sugars and fats) Don't starve yourself - it will only make your body produce more sugars and fats that you have no insulin that can convert it. Be good at reading your sugars and get to know your body - get to know when you are hungry and get to know when you are hyper or hyper as often they all feel the same. Finally sorry to say this - you are a diabetic regardless of it going into so called remission or "going away" it doesn't matter if you are T1 T2 MODY or whatever diagnosis of diabetes - it hasn't gone away or gone into remission it just means you had control over your sugars, probably due to the amount of exercise you were doing. But its not the end of the world..... Good luck and I do hope you get some control. [/QUOTE]
