[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 532496, member: 21149"] I agree age 30 is quite young for T2 so bear in mind the possibility of late onset T1 unless you are overweight. I'm afraid I wouldn't agree with the doc (as an amateur of course!). There is great misunderstanding in the NHS about late onset T1. It can occur at any age and can appear and progress at different rates. In my case and other posters the tablets may work for a while but as the pancreas declines they fail to work any more and insulin is needed. So, see how the tablets go. Gliclazide (Diamicron in the USA?) may be added to stimulate the pancreas. Metformin should have an effect within a few weeks but it only ever reduces the blood sugar a bit. If you find your blood sugar rising despite low-carbing then do suggest your GP does a GAD and c-peptide test as well as adding more tablets. Are you normal weight? [/QUOTE]
