Hello all,
Just a brief intro, as I am new to this forum. Diagnosed T2 in June, on 1x500mg metformin daily, have improved diet and go to gym 2-3 times a week. Have lost 15+ lbs (since March) and hope that I'm making progress, but won't know until until 6 mth checkup and blood tests. Was offered statins, but want to wait and see if metformin+diet+exercise has maded a difference.
Feel better than I did a few months back, but still not "well" in the sense of say 5 years ago...still get aching limbs and tiredness (although, as I say, better than before)...suspect that my dosage is the lowest possible, and may need to be increased - any thoughts on different/better medication appreciated.
This forum really good, lots of supportive folk, just a bit concerned about the multiplicity of opinions some being completely contrary...guess it's whatever works for each person. If I come across any good advice or experience, will pass it on - but a bit early for me so far. Thanks all,
Garth
