[QUOTE="Phoenix55, post: 1820442, member: 242273"] Welcome back. As you say, to be put on medication with a review in several months time means that you are fighting blindfold. It is an additional expense with a disabled child but it is a real asset to know what your body is reacting to, we are all different. If you can stretch to it, a meter is really worthwhile. So far I have managed to avoid Metformin but you may be able to reduce medication by changing your diet with the help of the meter. There is a lot of help with suggestions elsewhere on the site. Usually Metformin does not make people sick, although a few may feel nauseous. If it is going to be problematic it is with the other end of the digestive tract, which means a whole range of different problems. If it is difficult and persistent then go back to your doctor and ask for the slow release form. A bar of high percentage chocolate in the fridge with a single square as a treat means that you don't feel deprived and can stop at just a single square, but a few strawberries with cream are delicious at this time of year.
