[QUOTE="adnan, post: 106857, member: 23218"] Hi All I was diagnosed in June this year. For the last year or so, my health seemed to have taken a nose dive. I was constantly tired, lethargic. I could fall asleep at any point just sitting down. Concentration was terrible. Generally I had no get up and go. I had a Glucose tolerance test about 15 months ago and that came OK. However, blood test in June showed my Blood Glucose to be high. So the GP carried out a fasting blood test and the HBA1c came in at 7%. From that day, I was prescribed Metformin 500mg. Not too chuffed about being Diabetic, :( obviously. However, since being prescribed Metformin, my health has taken an about turn. I am no longer lethargic, do not want to just fall asleep, have loads of energy and am losing weight (7kg in 3 months). So I'm just glad that it is being dealt with and managed. :) [/QUOTE]
