[QUOTE="Squire Fulwood, post: 367067, member: 44622"] One or two things strike me about this. They have prescribed glicazide and pravastatin. They have stopped the Metformin. Something may have worsened in order for them to prescribe glicazide. Have you explained your thinking that the comfort of Metformin was helping. I am reasonably certain that if you wanted them to they would prescribe Metformin again. It may be that it will not actually help a lot but at least we will find out if it does. The statin is surprising and I am not sure why they thought this would help but I suspect they are following the normal NHS party line that diabetes is progressive and there is not point treating diabetes without treating cholesterol and high blood pressure etc. You have to talk to them and tell them your concerns.
