[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1751364, member: 94045"] If the quality of your lives is being badly affected, something needs to be done. What dosage is he on? What are his blood sugar levels like? Does he 100% need Metformin? It is a mild diabetes drug that quite honestly only helps to a limited extent. Are the side effects outweighing the benefits in his case? Maybe you should make an appointment with a GP rather than the nurse and discuss it all with him/her. I think that is what I would do. If his blood sugars aren't too bad, could you consider a diet only approach? If they are high, maybe a different medication? Diet is the key to control, and that means reducing carbohydrate. The role of carbs is ultra important because they all turn to glucose once eaten. All of them. Do read round all the forums to see how others manage, and ask questions. Tags are simply alerts sent automatically to the person tagged to read the thread and comment. [/QUOTE]
