After 6 weeks of non-cycling activity, I've been given some Metformin tablets but taking these doesn't really seem to help much!

Indeed.

So SK you take no medication, eat what you like and have a higher than preferred blood sugar level, and currently have no known side effects/problems.
I take it then you are not worried about the side effects rearing their ugly heads?
Correct. If worrying about it were to make it better, I would.However, if I were to ever feel any of the side effects, I'd take medication for it. I'm 62 now and know full well that it will prolly catch up with me in a while, but until then .....

Trust me, using tyre levers on every ride is nothing to brag about.

Learn to be or appear confident, pick your road position and be fairly dominant about staying in it, it is your space, make sure your signalling is positive, ie stick your arm out, high and level with your shoulders, do not make some sort of signal that looks like you are scratching your b*m.
Look at drivers and make eye-contact as much as possible, do not be some sort of wilting wallflower out there otherwise they will vicitimise you.
Look through the 'on the the road' threads, you will see even us experienced cyclists meet idiots daily who give us near misses... or maybe not it might put you off for life
Get out there and enjoy your cycling and od not let the idiots defeat you. And welcome to the forum feel free to ask for any more advise and join the chats.
