I've had type 2 diabetes for two years now, and of course I'm on Metformin. I've been taking three tablets a day, morning, noon and evening, so I've got high blood pressure, high cholesterol and, last but not least, a thyroid problem. I'm very careful about what I eat, but it doesn't help, and I go for walks. I feel a bit discouraged, but I'd like to know if anyone else is in the same situation. What can I do? Thank you

Hi @smiles12

Thanks for starting this discussion. If you havent yet, you can rate your experience with Metformin here: https://member.carenity.us/medications/search Just type in the brand you take and fill out the survey.

It sounds like you are doing all the right things, watching what you eat, taking your medication, walking. I wouldn't get discouraged, it means you just haven't found what works for you yet. I will tag a few other members who maybe able to share what they do for their health management.

Do you take Metformin? How is your cholesterol and blood pressure? What do you do to maintain it?

Take care,
