[QUOTE="rockwidow, post: 772851, member: 161302"] Hi My husband was diagnosed type 2 in January. He had to immediately start Metformin due to HbA1C of 96. I am struggling to accept this as I am so angry with my GP who diagnosed him 3 years ago with IGT and did nothing to help him and did not arrange any follow up, however water under the bridge we have to move on. He is coping with the metformin on the whole, he still has some grumbly tummy problems. He is loosing weight really well and thats a good thing as he does have a lot of weight to loose, he has mentioned on numerous occasions that he feels cold and his hands in particular are cold, I hope this is just due to his weight loss (he has dropped nearly 2 trouser sizes since January) but I would really like to know if anybody has any experience of something similar. He mentioned it to the nurse at his last visit but all she asked me was " well he has feeling in his feet doesnt he?" (I am a diabetes specialist podiatrist so his feet are okay) and its not his feet that are cold. Any suggestions would be appreciated thank you [/QUOTE]
