Strict diet, eating the right things, + Metformin 2 x 500 mg.

Switching to Glucophage SR from next week, because Metformin is giving me hell. :crazy:

Excellent progress so far, I get my HbA1c on Wednesday after my diagnosis in July, crossing fingers and other things that I can stay off medication and continue the current diet.

Very good news indeed. :)
