Hi :wave: my names David im 35 and live in Scotland, i actually joined the forum nearly a year ago but never really got round to using it though i have learned alot from the website.
I was diagnosed T2 in 2008, it was a side affect of another drug that caused my diabetes.
I take 3x500mg slow release metformin daily, which i dont think i really need but my practice nurse tells me i need to keep taking them! i seem to be able to eat as much carbs i want which i dont really understand.
I test my blood glucose when i can as my nurse wont give me them, i was buying test strips but refuse to buy any more as there to expensive, i do have test strips just now as a friend of a friend with diabetes kindly gives me them when they can.
My last Hba1c was 5.1
