Hi. Don't panic as you're going in the right direction. Have you reviewed your diet? To get your blood sugar down, and weight if it's too high, is to reduce portion sizes and reduce the carbs in the food you eat; also make them low-GI where possible. There are links on the forum to a good diabetic diet but do ask for more information if you need it. Although the Metformin will help you, the right diet is the number one priority.
