hi longlungs you are right l think they did drop a clanger but don't worry l wont leave it at that cos its not so much as what the doctor said its about me been that little bit more sensible to think well this is high and my hubby when he had a test and it was 24 they put him on insulin so l thought well if mines higher than his why haven't they done the same to me if l hadn't have had a hubby with diabetes l may not have been so sure but luckily for me l challenged it so god knows what would have happened if l never had so now just got to wait till Tuesday l will let you know what happens xx

Glad your sorted, Avandia is a good supplement to Metformin, maybe they'll give you that. You may not need both. X
