[QUOTE="Hertfordshiremum, post: 2459478, member: 507802"] Hi Ali my brother in law was diagnosed type 2 HbA1c 55, he has lost 2 stone by going low carb and going for a walk every day. He has been wearing a Libre which is predicting HbA1c of 32 He is going for the blood test shortly. I would ask for 3 months not one month to try are correct this via diet and exercise. Metformin doesn’t agree with everyone, I had terrible upset stomach’s even with the slow release version. Personally I would avoid adding medication until you have given lifestyle changes a go, I know this can be very hard but I hope this information about my brother in law will help you. He thought he wouldn’t be able to do this with a busy job and other health complications but he has, fingers crossed for you too. [/QUOTE]
