I have been prescribed Metformin and have queried its effect if you do drink alcohol. My DR just said I shouldn't drink anyway and the pharmacist said normal guidelines. 2- 3 for a female per day should be ok. Trouble is I am drinking more than that since diagnosed as very down about being a Type 2. Find all the books and advice confusing . Not helping myself I know but feel very alone. My GP practise does not issue monitors, says not good to spend too much time focusing on diabetes. Fortunately I do not seem to suffer the symptoms most do on this site. Get tired in evening and have a stressful job which doesn't help. Have had one Hba1c test in thirteen months, result was 9.2 . Try to eat low GI Load and should exercise more . Any advice or positive comments would be helpful.
