Taken off Medication

[Thunderbird 4]

Hi,
Well went for my three month check up yesterday (diagnosed T2 back in May 10) and Nurse has taken me off Metformin. I may have mentioned in the past that the day I was diagnosed the GP put me straight on Metformin with no negotiation into trying diet etc, just 'take this medication approach.'

I have been having massive hypo feelings mid day (dont check my levels so can assume) and reported this to the nurse. The past two occasions my HB1 levels have been a steady 5.5, so the nurse was more than happy with me and suggested dropping the Metoformin and go down the diet route, which I am more than happy with. Just shows the conflicting information we can recieve..!!

A happy chappy....

Hi TB4,

That's a re assuring tale, thanks for sharing it on the forum.

I've been diet only since diagnosis and always want to resist starting meds. My DN suggested I go onto statins from Oct, due to my age. She has left the GP practice now, so I'll keep quiet about it and see what the new DN says when the time comes. :wink:
