[QUOTE="Maggiesotherhalf, post: 1384182, member: 378869"] As my wife is type 1 we had a double appointment to see the nurse specialist last Wednesday. As my blood sugars weren't good she suggested that I take oral medication as well as insulin I'm type 2. I explained that Metformin didn't suit me in the past, so what did the Doctor prescribe, yep you've guessed it Metformin (slow release). 2 days I took them for, they knocked me for six, as well as feeling dizzy/faint, I was getting bad chest pains, I have 1 blocked and 1 diseased artery. I'm just wondering if the Doctor bothered to read my notes before the prescription was written up. Honestly we are better using our local pharmacy for advise as the pharmacist is himself diabetic. Oh well it's back to the Doctors I suppose. Rant Over. [/QUOTE]
