[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 2095625, member: 21149"] Hi. You are unlucky in having such a poor surgery system. As others have said, Metformin only ever has small effect so don't worry if you need to stop it. Metformin SR (Slow Release) is much kinder so try to ask the GP to change the script. Why isn't your Metformin on repeat? Surely it should be. You need to insist on online access to your records and medication re-ordering; CCGs now encourage that. The only real solution for you is to go low-carb long-term to get the weight and BS down. Forget the mash and only have it occasionally like I do. It will take time to re-align yourself to a different diet but we have all had to do it and it works. Get a meter and then you can see what foods affect you most. [/QUOTE]
