[QUOTE="Magisham, post: 1125027, member: 94221"] Thank you so much for your reply. My partner's GP has been banging on to him about the Metformin and I keep saying the kidney specialists should know more than her. He had a kidney from his daughter and the doctor who did it (Italian) said "You have the Ferrari of kidneys". So far so good with it. He is on 2 Tacrolimus and 2 MMF a day, plus 1 steroid (Prednisone? Something like that). They did say they could change the Tacrolimus, but were reluctant to do so as he has kept well on it. He is getting a bit disheartened as we are being so careful with the diet ......... no bread, rice, pasta, potatoes, etc, living on meat, fish, eggs salad, vegetables, nuts, olives, etc........and his sugar is starting to go up again. I don't know if we are doing something wrong or if the tablets are just not controlling it. I really don't want him to start on insulin unless he really has to. Thanks again for all the support.
