[QUOTE="monster54, post: 434970, member: 85817"] Ok, seriously emotionally exhausted. Why do things have to be such a battle. It got heated....very heated...there were raised voices. The dr insisted 3000mg of metformin is a safe dose despite bnf60. I argued that this medication was upped massively with no review in place. I feel this is neglect on behalf of original dr. My dad is clearly vulnerable patient. I would of expected a follow up appointment. He still wanted to continue metformin and reduce to 2000mg. I said no....we are not going backwards. Metformin sr at a minimum. My dad has been suffering with diaorreha for at least 18 months but my rough calculations. I think he is dehydrated and malnourished. Not to extreme levels but certainly to an extent. He changed it. I have a prescription to collect. And he has an appointment to check hvb?!? Levels in a couple of months to see impact. I cried with relief.... M x [/QUOTE]
