[QUOTE="Rachox, post: 2120451, member: 400972"] Hi Jo and welcome! First let me post a link to our useful info page: [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/basic-information-for-newly-diagnosed-diabetics.17088/[/URL] Now Metformin is a very mild drug and you are on a small dose so low carb diet will be your main tool to get your HbA1c down, it is also an easy way to lose weight if you have weight to lose. I can give you info on blood sugar monitors if you decide to buy one and I very much recommend it, to learn the effect of different foods on your body. As far as driving is concern, Metformin doesn’t cause hypos (or low blood sugars) so there’s no requirement to tell the DVLA, you do however have to phone your car insurers but it shouldn't affect your premium.
