I have two queries I can’t get to the bottom of, so post here in the hope of enlightenment. First, Metformin. I am at the stage now where I believe I shall need to use drugs in the very near future as I can no longer stop my figures rising by diet. I have heard that certain batches have been recalled as they have been found to contain unacceptable levels of carcinogenic material and have actually been banned in some countries. Is this a cause for concern?
Secondly, diet. My wife has also been diagnosed, like me, with D2 and advised to control diet. However it seems to me that everything points to losing weight, but we are both as thin as rakes and have no weight to lose. There is no way I can give my wife less foods, she needs to eat carbs to retain the weight she has, less than 7 stone, so how can I possibly alter her diet to reduce glucose and keep her weight up?
Any help on the two matters would be appreciated.
