[QUOTE="tealeaves, post: 265177, member: 39371"] I can only echo Grazer. You either tolerate Metfomin or you don't, from what I've heard and spoken to people about, and personally I found they made me worse if I didn't have some carbs with them. Without being graphic, I had an omelette one night and may as well have just walked into the bathroom and cracked the eggs into the toilet. The slow release Metfomin had a dramatic effect in only one day - you are seriously suffering needlessly, it isn't worth it! It isn't starting again from scratch, it's the same medication but coated to be better tolerated. Truly seems a no brainer for me! My nurse gave me a glucose monitor before they even knew which diabetes I'd had, before they even gave me any Metfomin, because it is the best way of helping yourself. You're being told it's useless because it causes panic - what they mean is, 'sorry, they're expensive and so are the strips!' I would be asking around and finding a better surgery and nurse, those ones sound utterly useless. Making a fuss over readings of 20+? That attitude is irresponsible and frankly dangerous. [/QUOTE]
