Type 2
Was told I was type 2 the other day, and took my first tablets last night (Metformin). Take one a day for the first week, 2 a day for the second week, then 3 a day from then on... also taking Simvastatin and Ramipril.

So, had a business meeting today, and sandwiches were provided for lunch - Without thinking, I had 2 rounds... now I feel all woosy and a bit "disconnected".

I can see that adjusting is going to be "fun"!

I got a free one by applying online to Abbotts 🙂 I think Bayer do free ones too :D
 
Thank you for the info - will look in to it. It's a good thing I have the office to myself this afternoon. I can sit back and do nothing 🙂

They put me on the metformin and i managed to get to two tablets a day before i became really ill..,they thought i was type 2 but i wasnt,probably not the case for you but maybe trip to doctors to make sure everythings ok.
