What is happening to our medication. Three times now they have changed my insulin only by the time I get to reorder they have stopped manufacturing. Anyone else having problems.

Well I am getting an upgrade with my tablets but weight is it seems not the issue. For many months unreliable medicine supply has been the issue where sometimes I waited two months for my pills etc. This allowed my diabetes control to totally distabalise and I no doubt it will take sometime to stabalise. Excuses stem from lack of storage, supply issues even the government prioritising smaller chemist over the big boys. Clear whatever the excuse, patients are put at risk!

Well the government is launching new diet advice for all diabetic 2 patients where it is seen lifestyle changes and loosing weight is the real issue. It is believed that most diabetic 2 patients will be drug free through diet but as always the type of the support will be 'proof in the pudding', words or genuine support?

As the Metformin effect diminishes this drug gives a boost to lowering your blood sugars before the dreaded needle.
