Just got the reading back from a fasting BSL..  6.8 fasting and 6.2 average.  Phew...   Have changed the meds from 1500 at night of Metformin  to 500, and 30 Diamicron twice a day.  But it is a pain remembering what to do when seeing as how I am 73 and getting to that stage. !!!!I was surprised to be told the Metformin ""actually help you lose weight"  NOT in my opinion.and losing weight would have to be the hardest thing ever.  Ii must admit , that the mental ''thing'' is no longer there and to do something about weight is such a big effort that it is almost not worth it.   Happy in a relationship of course helps. .  But whatever !  it is up to me and no one else. might add that because my Metformin was changed from 1500 at night to 500 at night the weight increased by 3 kgs in 5 weeks.  Yuk.  I wonder what would happen if I changed things around and took the Metformin in the day time and the Diamicron at night.  Does anyone know, or do I have to go back to the Drs  to get the usual lecture. </blockquote>
