[QUOTE="lolita, post: 122228, member: 24638"] Hi synonym, to my knowledge, there is no underlying reason why i have been started on metformin 2 weeks after diagnosis. My initial thoughts following diagnosis was that i would definitely not start any meds until i had at least 3 months of continuing diet and exercise. I guess with the odd raised blood sugar (highest being 10.5 but average being 7.4mmols) i may have become a bit frightened as to any damage being done so thought i should accept the meds.(? illogical ) I am very much determined to 'manage' my diabetes myself as I don't always agree with the information being offered to me by my health care team. Started metformin yesterday evening and have told myself if i start suffering from terrible side effects, i will not take them and continue with diet and exercise and look at things again at my next review in 3 months. As for the weight loss, i just assumed because of the weakness in my legs, perhaps the loss was too quick for me. I have 3 stone to lose. Thanks for your response synonym. Guess i am still trying to get my head round all this :( [/QUOTE]
