Message: <blockquote data-quote="Annjay" data-source="post: 114353" data-attributes="member: 21944">When diagnosed with 'on the cusp' Type 2 in July 2009, I was prescribed Metformin 500mg.  I asked about self-testing and was told airily, oh that's not necessary at all, which I thought was odd.  Two weeks later, after spending that time feeling unusually faint and close to passing out, I decided I would halve the Metformin pills as I was sure they were responsible and doing more harm than good.  I felt so much better within the next 24 hours and continued to feel fine.  My theory is that the NHS has decided it is too expensive to encourage us to monitor our blood sugar levels.I do think it's unfair to discourage patients who want to be proactive in taking care of their health.Cheers - AnnIntegrity is doing the right thing, even if nobody is watching - Jim Stovall</blockquote>
