[QUOTE="Busy1, post: 956559, member: 185159"] Sorry guys I didn't realise I had so many replies on here. Apologies for not replying. I am still battling on with the Metformin SR. tablets. My BS levels have come down a bit but are still not good. I am finding the tablets easier to tolerate now but I can't say I feel well on them. I have developed very bad backache and don't know if this is caused by the tablets ? I have been offered different tablets by the doctor and have just been prescribed anothert tablet to take with the Mefformin but I am nervous to take them as I have suffered with Gall Stones in the past. I need to speak to the doctor again. I find I still feel very rough in the morning and it takes me ages to get going ! I am sleeping better and some nights manage to get right through the night. I don't know why but a small slice of ham before going to bed stopped the awful liver dumps I was experiencing. The tablets do give me terrible wind ! Not good. I am very worried about getting Hypo s and this is why I am trying to stick to the Metformin. Most of the alternative tablets the doctor suggested would give me Hypos so I wasn't keen. Hypos scare me ! I am trying to eat low carb but my latest Cholesterol reading of 6.8 has made me wonder if this way of eating is unsuitable for me with this result. The best reading so far has been 6.5 That was after a lot of walking. My usual readings are much higher, 11 or higher. I think stress plays a big part in my readings. I have been struggling since getting the diabetes diagnosis and feel very depressed some days as I can't get on top of it. [/QUOTE]
