Hi my name is alan i am trying to find more information Diabetes 2, i have now had type 2 for about 18 moths now and so far nothing is being done. I was on Meformin for 6 months and then was taken off becouse my reading had gone down to 5.8 which is good, also the doctor didn't want me on Metformin becouse i have Heart Faiure, now my metre readigs are up to 11.4 on the 5/6/08 and the lowest it is 8.9. What can i do ? by the way i am 60yrs old and have other illnesses.
