What is type 2 diabetes?
Type 2 diabetes is a condition characterised by what is known as insulin resistance.
This is where the body does not effectively respond to the insulin produced, as a result blood sugar levels become too high. It can be managed by taking tablets such as Metformin and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

PaulaG hi . Yes. You are correct. But you can't just go in have a test just because you want one. It's a good deal. Very useful for people to know what their condition is. In addition, getting a doctors appointment these days is a hellush task
Tortielove yes it's a good deal but if you suspect you may have diabetes( i.e showing symptoms) your GP surgery will give a test. It is hard to get an appointment in some areas sure but many conduct e consultations. As we all know Diabetes is a dangerous condition. G.Ps don't take it lightly. I do have problems with the likes of Lloyds muscling in on NHS
Metformin does not cure diabetes. It stops working after some time . Calorie deficit diet and exercise cure diabetes. Excess Visceral fat causes diabetes. Processed foods containing high glycemic index carbs and sugar solutions like fruit juice and smoothies also cause diabetes.
ClearDay thx for sharing this If people can pop into their local Pharmacy it will be very handy indeed. It is important to remember this in some cases comes on in later life and can be contributed to be poor diet and lifestyle. Metformin does *manage the condition and works well along side Glipizide too
I have received mine a few yrs ago through diet but I am not feeling to good lately, plus you can't get into our doctors for the love of god since this covid
Both myself and my sister had confirmed appointments for today in different parts of London. Both of us were turned away and told it was not available. In.my case , quite rudely. Walked 39 mins to keep my appointment. Anybody else have the same experience???
