[QUOTE="Magneto2009, post: 2360199, member: 537207"] Thanks, this is all really useful :-) I have a history of gastro issues, so metformin may not be for me, but then the doctor didn't stipulate that when he prescribed glyclazide. From my reading so far it seems metformin would be more appropriate, but I'm sure there's plenty that I don't know! I tried to discuss just going down the diet route for a while with the diabetic nurse, but she insisted drugs are needed. As you say, it is my decsion and I'm not one to ignore medical advice, but from all my reading of this forum over the last week it does seem that NHS guidance is contrary to lots of people experience, and having read a few medical journals it seems that low carb is the way to go...
