What do you all think of Xenical?
My doctor wants me to take it, plus increase my metformin up to twice daily ( 2 x 500mg)
This was in my original hospital letter from the endocrinologist, who I was receiving treatment from for another condition I had.
They stated my level was - after fasting then a glucose drink was - was 13 mmol
I’ve been on just 1 x 500mg metformin ( not increased as asked) and have been on very low carbohydrate diet ( under 20g sugar) Atkins style and within 14 - 17 days my fasting blood glucose levels have been around 5.1 - 5.6 ( my dn gave me a meter - )
I was eating tons of carbohydrates before, no one ever mentioned to me how many carbohydrates I was consuming or asked what my diet was :/
