I was diagnosed in Nov 13 with Type after my blood level was 33. Since then i have been put on Slow release Metformin 2 x 1000 at night. I currently have tingling sensation in my legs and my weight has dropped by over 13Kg since then. I keep an eye on my food intake and test myself twice a day and the last few weeks it has varied from 6.8 to 20.4 on a couple of days. I have not done any exercise for a few weeks due to an injury but hope to start again soon. My question is will the weight loss stop soon or could it be something else and would i need to maybe go onto something like Gliclazide as i dont wish to go onto Insulin as i am unable and uncomfortable to jab myself. My HBa1C has come down from 10.1 in Dec to 7.1 back in early April.
