[QUOTE="tigerlily72, post: 2151591, member: 38433"] I was diagnosed as type 2 in 2015 and have been unmedicated for my diabetes so far. I have several other health issues which I take both prescription meds and complimentary/supplements for. Anyway, I've just had my annual review and blood test and will be seeing the DSN on Tuesday (today). I phoned the surgery yesterday to get my results so I could mentally prepare. They are as follows: HbA1c = 50 Sodium = 139 Potassium = 3.8 Creatinine = 80 Thyroid = 3.27 (advised this was normal) Total Cholesterol = 4.4 (again, advised it was satisfactory) Am I likely to be advised to go onto meds and which ones? Bit concerned about metformin as I've read they can cause digestive upset/stomach pain! [/QUOTE]
