[QUOTE="Hertfordshiremum, post: 2413869, member: 507802"] Hi Sorry to hear you are having these problems, many of us have a rather rough ride at the beginning. I agree with Jo ask for the GAD antibody test to rule in or out late onset of type 1. I was put on metformin at the beginning and struggled for months with upset stomach, so much so that my nurse later agreed it was raising my blood sugar not helping. Is it causing any obvious problematic side effect? I was also actually type 1 so this would have been a factor too. I wish I had complained earlier, so I would call them back and tell them it’s not right, ask for the blood tests and there are lots of other tablets besides metformin. If I were you I would ask for a discussion with a diabetic nurse. Keep going as you are clearly on the right track. [/QUOTE]
