Metformin and other drugs

HI,

I AM TYPE TWO SINCE JULY 2010, AND LAST HBA1C WAS 6.1 RECENTLY, I HAVE A BROKEN ANKLE INJURY AND HAVE BEEN TESTING BG MORE FREQUENTLY. THE OTHER DAY IT WAS 14.1 THEN BACK TO 7.1 (LATER SAME DAY.) AV 7.00 EACH DAY

WHILST I WAS IN THE CLINIC FOR ANKLE INJURY, THE NURSE ASKED ME IF I WAS ON OTHER MEDS, AND I TOLD HER I AM TAKING VESICARE 10MG FOR UNSTABLE BLADDER FUNCTION, FLUOXETINE 10MG FOR A STRESS RELATED CONDITION,

THE NURSE TOLD ME THAT TAKING IBUPROFEN FOR PAIN RELIEF WOULD NOT BE A GOOD IDEA AS IT MAY REACT WITH THE METFORMIN. THIS GOT ME THINKING ABOUT THE OTHER MEDS I TAKE AND WONDERED IF THEY WERE SAFE TAKEN ALL TOGETHER EVERY DAY. i ALSO AM ON CPCAP TREATMENT FOR MILD SLEEP APNOEA SYNDROME.

AS EVER, IF ANYONE CAN OFFER THERE EXPERIENCES OR THOUGHTS I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL.

MANY THANKS,
FLY FISHER
