Good morning everyone!
I have felt a marked lack of energy over the past few months - all blood tests are within normal range. I am in my mid 60s, a stone heavier than I'd like to be, have RA, diabetes and heart disease but I do manage to walk for 30 minutes most days and do strengthening exercises at home.

My GP has suggested that a multivitamin and mineral supplement may help so I wonder if anyone can recommend a brand or company that they trust and find effective?

I did speak to my local pharmacist about this and she recommended Seven Seas but I'm sure there must be other excellent brands out there.

Thank you.

It sounds as though you have fantastic support from your GP! I was diagnosed last year and am totally confused about the information I was given on the DESMOND course (eat regular carbs in smaller portions) and people on the online forums who are having great success with very low carb and, in many cases, keto. I could not go as low as they do but can easily lower mine to 50 - 75g per day. I've always enjoyed small portions of whole grain rice and pasta once a week and love porridge but need to decide which advice to follow! Anyway, thanks again and I will designate some study time each day over the next few weeks - I actually enjoy that. I have noted the name of the alternative to Metformin- I take 500mg SR - thank you. You obviously take very good care of yourself and advice is always welcome!
