I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in april, was told i could have had it for a while because i ignored all the signs... drinking alot, running to the loo, 3 attacks of thrush in 2 months, but what made me go to the doctors was pins and needles in my fingers and numbness in 2 of them. Anyways when my bloods came back it was at 16...didnt mean alot to me as i didnt understand any thing about diabetes.ive learned fast! I was put on metformin 500mg 1 tab a day for a week, then 2 tabs a day for week 2 and so on till now im on 4 tabs a day. In may i had my bloods done again and was down to 10. Ive had a complete diet change low/fat low/sugar and i have lost over 2 stones so far...i went for another blood last week and it was down to 7.5.. it was then that my DN and GP  put me on Simvastatin 40mg, ive have been told this is a very high dose and can cause problems with cramps and stuff, does anyone have problems with this med?Also cos i still have alot of weight to lose and they want my blood sugars down they are putting me on Victoza, i have to wait for a  appointment with someone to come see me at the doctors to show me how to use it, also they do it in a groups of 5 people. What i want to no is do i get this for free as with all my other meds or do i have to pay for it, my gp never said anything about the cost of it. Pinktess <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
