[QUOTE="TheTartanPimpernel, post: 104292, member: 14656"] I was started on Metformin after an appointment with the diabetic consultant used by my local practice (they don't prescribe directly leaving that to the specialist). Despite getting a very high HBa1c down to 7 in the weeks between diagnosis and the appointment achieved by eliminating . However, the consultant explained that there was growing evidence that early intervention with a low dose of Metformin had potential long term benefits. I am now taking 1*500 tablet with my evening meal. Fasting BG test this morning was 6.1 and has not been above 6.3 for a while (I only test twice a week now) HBa1c was below 6 within months of diagnosis and since then they have been between 5.2 and 5.9. Seems to have worked for me and I have experienced no other diabetic complications. Start taking the tablet, its no big deal combined with a diet based largely on portion control (but for me no pasta). [/QUOTE]
