Hi All,

Diagnosed TYPE2 a few years ago, never took my medication regularly if I'm honest, but shocked into to it a three weeks ago - went in to hospital for a shoulder op, but due to my blood sugar (17) and my BP they postponed the op! Now on Glucophage and Jardiace and bloods are under control (average under 7).

About 2 stone overweight, but diet pretty good, although I am a classic weekend binge drinker.

Doctor has no idea whether or not it is better to take the tablets all together or to space them out i.e. Glucophage at night and Jardiace at lunchtime - Any experience and suggestions?

I have to be honest, I feel absolutely no difference since being disciplined with taking my meds, am I supposed to?

Thanks in advance,
Jay.
