Message: <blockquote data-quote="aowl33" data-source="post: 1890024" data-attributes="member: 491589">Hi,Here is my road to being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, white male 46, over weightInitially I went to the GP as I had sores on my scalp that were taking a long time to heal.I though it was some sort of infection. Also I had an eye test several months before and the optometrist she said I've had an eye bleed in the past so she would send a note to my GP, (i didn't got to the GP as I was feeling OK)So I had a blood test after the GP visit and on the second visit to the GP She  said I had diabetes, not saying if I had type 2 but  I am sure it is. The GP put me on metformin, (Ramipril and Atorvastin for HIgh BP) taking it for two weeks OKand now I am getting tinnitus when I take the metformin tablets (2 x 500mg a day). The tinnitus is very distressing and worse than the high blood glucose. Thing is I've not had symptoms of diabetes apart from the sores on the scalp. I've got to see the nurse next week. Its going to be a long slog to get healthy and reduce my risk fromthis disease.Just sharing my experiences with you all, so I've not told anyone close to me or my employer about my diagnosisregards and I wish you all the best of health</blockquote>
