metformin tablets
I am so angry and upset. I've been taking round metformin tablets for 15 years. Now the tablet shape has been changed to oblong. The pharmacy says that 's all they can get. I can't swallow this shape for fear of it being stuck horizontally in my throat. Now I have to cut up the oblong tablets. They are

Change to diet
Plodding along for years with T2, first metformin but now insulin twice per day. Reasonably good diet, try to avoid added or high sugar, although carbs can be my downfall, mostly active, low alcohol consumption. Blood glucose readings fairly consistent, though slightly above target and keep nudging

IBS, possibly menopause, any advice
Hello, I’m looking for any advice if possible, I was diagnosed with IBS over 20 years ago now. I think I had it as a child, it seemed to come about right around the same time I got my periods at 11. Every month I would have horrendously heavy menstrual cycles that were so painful I’d almost pass out

I have recently stated to check my glucose by finger prick as although my HbAc1 has been ok and unchanged I am aware I am anaemic after 18 months of zoladex. My fasting morning glucose is 7.2 (129.6) and my 2 hour after evening meal was 8.3 (147.6). The issue is that my weigh is good and unchanged

CGA and urogram
Hi All good advisers. Have been on pred for CGA since July 2023, starting at 60mg. now at 12 mg with very slow taper. I am having a kidney urogram this April. I am also on metformin 3 x daily 500 mg. I have read that I should stop taking metformin before this procedure. How many days before should

Newbie and confused. Functional B12 deficiency?
Hi everyone, I am new here but I have been a member of the thyroid forum for many years. I've also just joined the Sjogren's and the lupus groups because some of my symptoms could be attributed to these though I have no diagnoses, and the Changing Faces group for my rhinophyma. I have Hashi's and thyroid

Hi! I'm new and excited to meet others and learn about your journey
Good afternoon. I'm new to the group. I already posted an item, but thought I should introduce myself. I was diagnosed with Stage 1 breast cancer in 2010. Had a mastectomy. Went on tamoxifen for 2 years, then quit because it made me feel miserable. No chemo. In 2022, I was once again diagnosed

Docs who prescribe mebendazole and metformin
HI! I am currently taking letrozole for metastatic breast cancer. I am also doing the COC protocol, but only with mebendazole and metformin. Just curious, are any of you getting mebendazole or metformin from any other docs than COC? Thanks! Sue

Feel shaky after breakfast
6 weeks ago had 3 stents fitted due to heart attack. All seems well other than weird feelings after breakfast and even one evening. Sort of bubbly inside and the evening one I was shaky on my feet so immediately sat down and ate a sweet as I feared low blood sugar felt fine soon after. I take Metformin

PA and Metformin
Hi Brains Trust! As of a visit to my GP this morning, I'm staring down the barrel of Type 2 diabetes and, whilst having already begun to implement a diet/exercise regime, I was wondering what effect metformin might have on my B12 levels as I'm already SI every 2-3 weeks, depending on symptoms. I know

Suspected endo and PCOS - can you get treatment?
Hi I have recently had a "possible diagnosis" (they don't want to say for sure) for PCOS and endometriosis. I have seen very clear cysts in both of my ovaries and I have gained 20kg despite the fact I regularly train and my nutrition is very good I heard metformin might help but how do I go about

Utterly confused.......
My BMI is 40, I have been doing the NHS Weight Management Second Nature programme and found it easy to follow, and the recipes delicious, and although I have only lost a few lbs, I didn't feel the need to snack or binge on anything. I learnt this morning that I have Type 2 diabetes and high cholesterol
