Hello everyone,
The story so far....
After having thrush for months that came back everytime I treated it I went to the docs a couple of weeks ago and she did a fasting blood test.
I was diagnosed type 2 last week with a fasting blood test of 17.9. When I was called in to see the doc I was 25.9 (going to hospital was mentioned...gulp! :shock: ).
After a week on metformin 500mg once daily I am down to 21.9. I am upping the dosage to twice daily tomorrow. My next appointment is three months time. They have not got me testing my levels myself.
The only good news the nurse had for me was that I have lost over 2 and a half stone in the last year and am down to 14st 5lb (yay lowest I can remember being LOL)
Well thats it really I just thought i would introduce myself and give you the background to my turning up here LOL.
