What it is

Metformin ± GLP-1 co-management

Type 2 diabetes is managed on numbers you have to go and collect, which is why so much of it drifts. This plan ships the medication every thirty days and chases the tests — the HbA1c reminder is the part members say makes the difference.

If you are on the weight programme as well, the same doctor runs both. That matters: tirzepatide lowers blood glucose, and nobody should be adding it on top of existing diabetes medication without someone watching the interaction.

What it does in your body

Metformin reduces glucose production in the liver and improves how sensitive your muscle tissue is to insulin. It does not push your pancreas to make more insulin, which is why it does not cause hypoglycaemia on its own and why it remains the first thing almost everyone is put on.

How you take it

DailyWith food — taking it on an empty stomach is why people quit

TitrationStarted low and increased over weeks to limit gut effects

Every 3–6 monthsHbA1c reminder, with a lab referral if you need one

Every 30 daysRefill ships automatically

Side effects, plainly

What most people get, and the bit that matters

Common

Diarrhoea and stomach upset, mostly in the first weeks

Metallic taste

Reduced appetite

Long-term B12 depletion — we check for it rather than assume

Worth memorisingLactic acidosis is very rare but serious. Stop metformin and seek care if you become severely dehydrated, are admitted to hospital, or are given an iodinated contrast scan.

Who should not take this

eGFR below 30 — kidney function is checked before starting

Acute illness with dehydration, until you have recovered

Type 1 diabetes

Heavy alcohol use

This list is not exhaustive and does not replace the consultation. The intake form asks the questions that decide it, which is why the honest answers matter more than the fast ones.

Questions about Diabetes plan

Often yes, and it is a common combination — but it is co-managed by one doctor who adjusts both, not two prescriptions running in parallel. Tell us at intake if you are already on diabetes medication.

We remind you and refer you to a partner lab; the test itself is done there. The result comes back to your doctor and is reviewed with you.
