[QUOTE="IanD, post: 219601, member: 6186"] I was diagnosed with HbA1c 8.7, & total chol 7.6. BMI was 29 (87 Kg). No medications were prescribed initially - I was sent to the local hospital for a day of instruction by nurse, pharmacist, podiatrist & dietitian. I presume they wanted to see how my levels would respond by following their advice (if I did ?!) so they could assess what to prescribe & how much. They did & do prescribe test strips. (SHHH don't tell the Hounslow PCT.) After 3 months, HbA1c=6.9 & total chol 5.4. I was given metf after 2 years. Some time later I was given simvastatin, but I stopped that because of muscle pains. I have tried stopping the midday metf, but my BG goes up. Metf casues no problems, so I continue with it. [/QUOTE]
