Diabetes and Me Day 7

I've just got back from the Doctors, the verdict is that things aren't happening as quick as he wants them too.

He prescribed yet another drug, this time Metformin Hydrochloride 500mg. I have to take one in the morning for a week and providing there are no side effects go to two a day after that.

I did feel a little better yesterday and the glucose count was 15.8mmo/l, the spike of the other day cannot be explained.

One good bit of news is I have been given the ok to do some serious excercise, so today I'm going to treat myself to some new cycling shorts and get out on my MTB for some serious hard training. The Doctor said that weight loss is key to the control of my diabetes, so I can't wait to get started.
