Hi All,
Okay I posted before about issues with meds and drs
So I started taken 1000mg of Metformin 2x daily and for the last few days have had nothing but being sick and the runs, I have as of this morning stopped taking them as I can not continue to be like this - anyone got any advice I already put a message in with Drs
Some respond to metformin that way. I did. There's a slow release kind that could be kinder on the guts, and you absolutely need to take it after a meal, not on an empty stomach, should you want to try again. But it is the metformin that got me to look for alternatives and that's why I ended up with a diet change... That helped more than the met ever could. (Even 7 years later it still gives me the shivers to think about how bad it got. And I stuck with it for 3 weeks. Dehydrated, bl**dy, a wreck.).
Ask for the slow release metformin if you want to give it a go.

I know you have surgery coming up, and just know, a change in diet can get better and faster results than metformin could ever generate. (It only makes your liver dump less of the stored glucose in there, and makes you a smidge more sensitive to your own insulin... It doesn't do anything about what you eat.). Surgery tends to get postponed when blood sugars are high, because wounds tend to not heal when you're high, and the infection rate is a lot higher.
Good luck!!!
