Fabulous news! Shout it from the rooftops! Oh, hang on, maybe not! 😱 😉

Great news, I hope you have solved the problem - do you think it was diet related? What did you do differently, if anything, or do you think you have just got used to the medication?
 
Pleased for you. High bg = problems with cramp. Diet Tonic water is good for cramp aswell

I think it may have been a bit of both Northerner. I'm slowly changing the way that I eat by trying to make carb friendlier choices. I still have a lot to learn but I'm slowly getting there. My levels have come down considerably and I feel a whole lot better than I did a few weeks ago.

Thanks Hobie. I must remember that next time it happens. Hopefully it won't be too soon!! 😉
 
Hi Guys!! Just thought I'd touch base!

I'm feeling a lot better now on the Metformin. I think my body has finally given up fighting and has accepted that it needs the help!! :D I can't remember the last time that I had an "Explosive Episode"! Let's hope it stays that way.

I had a blood test the other day and my A1c reading was 47 (6.5%)!! I'm really pleased!!

I just have to now try to concentrate on losing some of this weight..........................now there's a challenge!! o_O
