Hi Rob thanks for the welcome 🙂 yes I am on Metformin twice a day but it as still not sorted the levels out got to go back next month to see what else they can do. I also have overactive thyroid apparently this can be part of the diabetes so they have told me high chloestral and high blood pressure so taking meds for them all gets me down some days but things could be worse so I just get on with it 🙂

Hi Susan, welcome. I found it rather difficult to get enough information when I was first diagnosed, even though my GP was excellent and the Nurse not bad. Question of time and opportunity I think, and we always forget to ask something.

I found the forum excellent for education, and a place to share some worries even, and to offer our experiences perhaps to help others.

I hope you find it helpful too.🙂
