[QUOTE="magjam, post: 989677, member: 55176"] So sorry to hear about the "jobsworth" doctor. Could I just say that I have been on Metformin and then the SR for many years, and have had all sorts of IBS problems with it. Finally talked the doc (decent chap who really encourages testing), to drop my dosage. Things are so much better! At first I was very wary, and having been checking at one point my blood glucose level went to 20! Yikes! Jumped on the exercise bike for 20 minutes and (not going at a terrific rate) it was then down to 11.6!!! (An hour and a half after a meal) My blood sugar levels have actually dropped by halfing the Metformin, and one morning the reading was 4.1. What a shame - had to have a big breakfast. So, I don't know what that tells you. Or maybe I'm just weird! [/QUOTE]
