No Symptoms of diabetes, but taking Metformin
I have recently been told I am diabetic, but the only symptom I had was thrush twice. I have been taking Metformin for a week now. How do I tell if they are helping please?Is it just the blood test every 3 months that will tell me if they are working? Thank you.
