Hi everyone
I have type 2 diabetes for years perfectly fine on diet control.
Beginning of summer I was exhausted started sleeping 19 hours a day, blamed it on just finishing my honours degree dissertation. I have other health issues eventually went to doctor after passing out a few times and still sleeping summer away. My HAB1c was 82 nurse put me on Metformin SR now in 3 tablets 1.5g my BM hasn't dropped bellow 11.8 and that was a good day, normally 17-28. I'm having issues with patchy blurry vision and still falling asleep whilst doing things for ex broke leg last week after blacking out whilst out in my wheelchair and crashing into a wall(I have spinal cord injury) been to GP twice last two weeks said only been on metformin 2 months so not to worry. I'm more worried about needing to get my bm down to stop the falling asleep etc doctors say just keep at it with metformin .... am I wrong to be worrying about the blackouts and loss of vision etc?
