I agree not everyone (contrary to current 'news' coverage) was overweight at diagnosis. I take A/V metformin and weigh just under 8st.

A/V sorry stupid predictive text should read S/R

Just a little side remark, doccydoo, to '...diabetes nurse, not even a specialist'. Over all the 53 years I have been going to specialist diabetes clinics I have found diabetes nurses extremely helpful and knowledgeable, and they usually have more time for you than the consultants.
