[QUOTE="islelassie, post: 952907, member: 29568"] [ have been on metformin for a year now. Initially I took one a day, that was OK, then I was put onto three a day as my glucose levels hadn't come down. From that I was given an extended release form of Metformin and that made me very ill, then I have been put on 2 metformin per day since then, The lowest my blood glucose levels have been is 9 but more often 12 or 13. My fasting level is higher than four hours after a meal. I have asked to be trialled GLP LR on the newer drug which is not insulin but is administered via pen syryng once a day. The review found that GLP-1R agonists were associated with weight loss in both people with and without diabetes. However, it is most important to note that these drugs are currently licensed only for the purposes of controlling blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes that has not responded to other standard treatments.
