During the first to visits, Ms Jackson appeared normal and had no complaints However, she developed heartburn on 9/ 10/2020 for which her GP stopped metformin and started cimetidine . On the third home visit today she was found lethargic and disoriented. It was found that she was continuing metformin against her GP advice. On further examination HB ATC was 4%
