When it comes to the metformin and NSAIDs, it doesn't appear to be something I need to worry about. Seems my glucose levels stay fairly stable, I've never really had hypos at all, but it is something that I will keep an eye on, particularly with the doses of NSAIDs I can be on at times. Seems like it's not necessarily an issue for everyone, just those people who are susceptible to the problem.

Summer, I'd bet that your DH is feeling stressed, guilty, frightened and just generally freaked out. But, like a typical bloke, he doesn't really know how to talk through it all. It might be worth chatting to the counsellor attached to your clinic. Even if you can't get DH to go, they may be able to give you some suggestions on how to get him to open up and stop blaming himself. Hang in there! The slow release metformin may be the way to go, too. I've just switched back to the regular type, and I'm noticing a slight disturbance in my digestive system, and yesterday my acupuncturist was commenting on just how well I was going with the low GI diet and stuff, and this was the longest she's ever seen my digestive system go without some sort of disturbance.
