Welcome to this friendly forum.
How are you managing with your medication. Would you like to share a bit more about your diagnosis, how long ago and what your HbA1C is as that helps with any suggestions people might make. If you need to lose weight, then that helps also.
Dietary changes are equally if not more important than metformin so have you made any changes there. Many people think they have a healthy diet but sometimes it is not so good in terms of managing Type 2 diabetes.
Have a look at this link as it may help you with some suggestions for modifying your diet, it is a low carbohydrate approach that many find successful. https://lowcarbfreshwell.co.uk/

Welcome to the forum @LisaJH
Glad you have found us 🙂
Diabetes can be a frustrating and confusing condition to live with at times, and there are so many conflicting suggestions of the way to manage your diabetes, that it can be a huge help to realise you are not alone, and that there’s no ‘one size fits all’ approach that works for everyone - it’s more a question of working out which strategies and approaches suit you best as an individual.
How long have you been living with diabetes? And how have things been going?
