[QUOTE="peter7, post: 883884, member: 24322"] My hospital Doctor said to me, you are taking tablets but you have to have a life and need to do the best you can. Words of wisdom I have carried with me for many years, I enjoy life to the best of my ability and do the best I can with Tablets. I had large doses of metformin 2000 mg a day and found that after working up from 1000 a day it was not progressing well. There were no side effects from the metformin, and I quite liked the weight control that improved, after a few years of Metformin. Careful monotoring by my primary care practice diabetic team has helped enormously, and we have introduced Trajenta 5mg, and Laaglyda MR 60mg and keeping the Metformin 1000mg daily. By talking to the team and my GP we seem to be managing OK, I play golf regularly and at 79yrs old have a good standard of life, I would suggest that metformin has been very helpful to me, and that working with the medical staff and regular monitoring, 3,6 and 12 month for various bits, feet, eyes, general condition etc has enabled a reasonable standard of health. I trust my G.P. and follow his advice. It has been suggested in other literature that Metformin may have additional benefits too. [/QUOTE]
