Hi @K-nine and welcome to the forum. Glad that you've found us, always feel free to ask any questions you may have! And don't worry, it's a nice unique name! 🙂

It's the name of the (robotic) pet dog companion one of the Doctor(s) Who had. Sort of Jack Russell size, lovely waggy tail!

Tom Baker!
He apparently used to hate it and kicked it when no one was looking.

How could you not love those little waggly satellite dish ears?!

Welcome to the forum @K-nine

How long have you been living with T2? And is there anything that you are finding particularly annoying or challenging about managing it of late?

Feel free to ask away with any questions; rant, vent and let off steam; or simply wade-in to any threads that catch your interest!

🙂

Hi everyone,
Thankyou for the lovely messages. Sorry, still getting to grips with everything, hence forgotten to look at this forum.

I was diagnosed at the beginning of February’23 with Type 2.
I have read lots about diabetes and trying to sort everything out.
I am on Metformin and taking the maximum amount daily.

Just a quick question …… If my Hba1c has come down and I am classed as pre-diabetic and am still taking the full amount of medication, can that make me feel weird/slightly dizzy?

Metformin isn’t usually associated with low glucose levels (which might give the symptoms you suggest) unless combined with other meds. It is difficult to be sure without checking with a glucose meter.

One thing that can happen if your glucose levels have been high for some time, is that you can get symptoms of low glucose even though your levels are in a perfectly healthy spot, but just because it is much lower than your body is used to. These ‘false hypos’ usually resolve in time as the body’s ‘glucose thermostat’ sort of resets itself
