[QUOTE="jal16, post: 1036613, member: 253664"] Hi juicyjan53, thanks for your message. Im going to try the metformin I think after this weekend but I have read that it doesn't necessarily help to lower blood glucose but just help with the heart in the future? I don't know what to believe anymore. My foot is painful and as soon as I can Ill go to a podiatrist but I dont think the doctors will send me. I do put scholl cream on it most nights at the moment. Its ironic, because my mum died in my early 30's and I was offered foot care because she was a diabetic type 2, but now it appears that I cant get foot care on the NHS and I'm 50!! Ill look up that cream you mention. A dr told me to use Pickles ointment for dry skin but it was quite severe and takes away all of your good skin as well as dry/hard skin and cracks. Ill let you know how I get on with the Metformin. :wideyed: [/QUOTE]
