[QUOTE="Marcus1234, post: 1898528, member: 476626"] Hi all, It's been 4 months since I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. It's been an up and down ride since my diagnosis. I was originally prescribed metformin standard release, they did not agree with me and neither did the slow release. I didn't want to take any medication and wanted to reduce my sugar levels through diet and exercise alone. My GP contacted me and asked me to come in and see him. He presuaded me to try slow release metformin again for 1 month, if still no better he would try something else. I agreed to this. I found myself tolerating the slow release and my readings where looking better. I was called in for my blood test hba1c and cholesterol. My results came back and I am now back in the prediabetes group and my cholesterol which was 7.5 is now 6, so overall it's improving. My GP wants me to carry on as I am and will see me again in 3 months when I have another hba1c test. I am booked on a full day diabetes course at the end of the month and my first eye screening early December. Thanks [/QUOTE]
