[QUOTE="Lynn76, post: 206644, member: 35394"] Hello, just introducing myself. I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes last month, initially controlled by diet only, but last week I went to the diabetic clinic, and as I seemed to be having a few symptoms most worryingly my eyes, the nurse decided to put me onto Metaformin 500mg twice a day. I purchased my own lancets, and testing strips as the nurse said there was no need to test, and as I have read on this site, how can you monitor and try to help yourself if you don't have the means to do so! I am 54 years of age, (both my parents developed type 2 at around this age) I have been widowed for almost 8 years now, and I have custody of my 15 year old grandson, he's lived with me for nine years now. I love animals, and have one dog, and three house cats, I enjoy photography, and play on line games. If anyone has similar interests to me I would welcome some correspondence. I live in South Yorkshire. I hope to find some useful hints and tips on here, as the medical profession don't really tell you too much do they? :wink: [/QUOTE]
