I popped in to the pharmacy today and they don’t have smaller ones, nor can they order any to see the size. Anything else is out of stock and more expensive so can’t be ordered.
I can’t help wondering how much diabetic complications would cost the NHS due to medication issues. I have managed without meds for seven years by changing my diet so must have saved a lot of money already for the NHS
The diabetic nurse will ring me on Wednesday to discuss my meds. Ordinary Metformin is much smaller, but when I tried it when I was first diagnosed it gave me terrible stomach issues.
I feel deflated and like I am being a nuisance, even though the pharmacist was as helpful as she could be given the restraints she is under.
I am in Wales, so maybe they have different rules to the rest of the UK.
