diabetes and letharjiness
am 60 + type 2 on metformin. Also hypothyroid and have undergone by pass. Though my sugar levels are somewhat under control(not fully--Hb1AC 9) my problem is laziness/depressive feeling particularlywhen it comes to go for bath. Is it due to diabetes or hypo thyroidism?

Metformin
Hi all I’ve recently been diagnosed with PCOS and have been prescribed Metformin. I was just wondering if anyone that has taken this before would recommend Metformin and whether you developed any adverse side affects? Thank you.

Low Blood Sugars
I know my GP is not able to deal with this now, so I'm just looking for some advice. For about 2 weeks now, I have been continually having low blood sugar levels. I do have an ongoing bladder infection, which I have had 3 courses of antibiotics for and still not cured. I have managed to lose 3 stone

Newly diagnosed with PCOS
Hi I'm 19 years old and today I've been diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. I have suffered from these symptoms for around 3 years and am very relieved that I finally have answers.

Statins & Metformin
For those interested in the full text of the recent study: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/cam4.2862 Of particular interest is Table 3. Note that Lovastatin did very poorly, but not many men were using it. Simvastatin, which had more users than the other statins combined, was disappointing

Hi everyone, I've been on metformin before, The first time was when I was diagnosed with PCOS and I was already fatigued from being so off that I felt better as soon as I started taking it. The second time I started up again was 4 months after having a baby so I was tired anyway. I just started taking

Diabetes Medication
My husband has PD and about a year ago was told he was pre-diabetic. He was given Metformin but found it was affecting his PD so stopped taking it. He managed to reduce his blood sugar readings but past two visits to the nurse they have been up again and the nurse is talking about different meds, either
