After being diagnosed type 2 in September 2016. I am now off Metformin and my doctor says I am normal. Not sure what that means. I was 40. I have lost three and a half stones. Do more walking and I am going to continue with my change in eating habits. Now got all new clothes. Big ones I have donated to the Air Ambula

That's good. I was on 2 X 500 Metformin. Keep it up and you may come off the tablets eventually. I will still be checked. Sue Ryder a good cause. ?

I forgot to say in my previous post. I bought the book Reverse your Diabetes by Dr David Cavan. It is very informative and well worth reading.
