[QUOTE="MCMLXXIII, post: 1232855, member: 55169"] Well hello It's been sometime since I last posted on this forum so allow me to explain my posting today in the hope someone may help. I've been med- free type 2 Diabetic for the last 5 years or so and had no issues. My hb1ac last year was 48 and my cholesterol was 5. Now brings me to my question.. My hb1ac has now shot up to 60 (7.6 in old money) and my cholesterol is still 5. I eat largely a plant-based diet and have been unable to exercise on my cross trainer for the last 6 months due to a knee injury. I've had a bit of a summer bender with the booze as I've attended weddings, parties, some ceremonies and been on holiday. I am to consult with my doctor on Monday. So.. Can anyone advise if I'm to start Metformin? I believe I can get it down through exercise as my knee has now healed. I'm perplexed by such an increase yet my cholesterol staying the same as a few years ago I had a CT scan and they said I had fat around my liver. I'm 43, 5 ft 11 in and slim build and late onset with Diabetes, my father and Granddad were the same. Any advice or what I should/could say to the Doctor is appreciated, my Dad did suffer abdominal cramps from metformin. Many thanks (nice to be back!:) Chris [/QUOTE]
