[QUOTE="delia57, post: 856604, member: 184073"] I have been on Metform now for 5 years and I have always been told not to test my sugar levels myself.....From day one I have felt really bad and it never seems to get any better...My readings are normally around the 8.5 mark (I am checked every 3 months) and my doctors are not happy with it I am also on other medication and now on the limit. My biggest problem is all the side effects which I get, the diarrhoea is the main problem as this has ruined my life and limits me from going out, I can only go to places that I know have toilets. another side effect is feeling very hungry which I am all the time. When I was first diagnosed with type 2 years ago I was not overweight but felt so tired and lifeless most of the time, now I am 5 stone heavier and feel terrible. My doctor was no help to me and I felt as though I was just taking up his time. I have recently moved house and registered with a new doctor. I just hope they can help me as I am feeling really fed up now. [/QUOTE]
