[QUOTE="jas, post: 208627, member: 946"] I am 49 years old. I was diagnosed 5 years ago. I have been on 1x twice dailey metformin tabs for 3 years. Last 2 yearly blood test results came back as 6.4 then 6.2. A new doctor decided to change to metformin SR once a day. Recent blood test came back 6.9. According to the DB nurse it is too high. and I was told off for testing blood sugar levels at home. She said people on metformin do not need to check. quarterly or yearly tests are sufficient. I was adviced if sugar levels do not come down in 3 months she will reccomend to go on insulin. Is'nt it too early for that. Help please. [/QUOTE]
