Don't feel bad. It can take time for low carbing to kick in and you start seeing results.
 
thanks restartingf my stuff this morn with the metoformine ;lets us see if this helpsxx
 
You're not failing - you are fighting, making a real effort with diet and exercise. Sometimes our bodies fight against us but hopefully the Metformin will help you get good results. Stay determined and good luck :)

Sorry to read you are feeling down. Taking metformin is not a sign of failure. It is sometimes just the sensible thing to do. Many people take it for a while and can cut down or stop taking it completely so it may not be permanent. I take metformin and am vegan too so we're twins :cat: We have a veggie/vegan subforum here if you fancy popping in http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/category/vegetarian-diet-forum.71/
