I am 75 female and two years ago was diagnosed as type 2 diabetic with my only symptom being a raised ( 59) blood test. I have studiously given up sugar and most carbohydrates. I cycle a lot on my electric bike. It is hilly where we live. My waist size is slightly over what it should be ( too many nuts!)I was recently at the GP for something else and the nurse said ,” oh we haven’t checked your blood sugar level for a while” so she took some blood and it was 67 so I have been put on 500 mg slow release Metformin. I still have no other symptoms. If I carry on with the same diet ( fewer nuts) and exercise and the Metformin can I expect a lower result when I am retested at the end of 3 months?
