[QUOTE="M6CEB, post: 1819997, member: 479578"] Hi! [USER=479207]@Kayleigh1008[/USER] husband here..! I appreciate everyone who has commented and especially to Kayleigh for starting the thread. It started about a couple of years ago, started getting very sleepy in the day and kayleigh said I should go to the drs as I probably had diabetes as her nan has it and recognised the signs. I went to the drs and my hb1c was around 75 I think. It was a shock and was given some tablets. Was not metformin but can't remeber the name now. After a few months I had another test and got put on metformin as I'm guessing the readings came down I've been on metformin for about 8 months now and since been reduced to 1 tab a day instead of 2. My diet is still the same. I eat sweets, ice cream etc.. Same as I always have. I have never had a good diet and thought that metformin fixed the diabetes, yes I have buried my head in the sand but I don't know if I am getting any health issues. The only thing I notice is I need to wee a lot! Several times a day and night. I want to sort my diet out but I really have no clue where to start. I oviously don't want to die but is it that serious? I know it can effect your vision limbs but mine all seem fine. I've just tested my blood with my old meter and it's 11 after tea. Thanks for all your advise and input :) Matt [/QUOTE]
