I agree the dose is huge. I really think it needs to be adjusted. I'm glad not the only one who's had mood swings. I'm usually a pretty easy going and laid back but since I started taking the metformin my moods have been all over the place especially the last few days. It is a relief to know...

Daisy 1 Thank you for all the great info. I did sign up for the low carb program but haven't had a chance to really get going with it yet. I'm feeling very positive about it though. I've been working on cutting the carbs but it's a little tuff without some guidance to help you along the way. So...

Art of Flowers I agree 2000mg is a high dose. After I got them I looked it up and I believe that's the max dose or close to it. I'm not really crazy about my Dr he talks to me like I'm already half dead. I'm going to request they change me to a different Dr. I'm going to check out the website...

Crying not dying. Dont know how to edit the post. Sorry

I was diagnosed with diabetes a few weeks ago. When I was at my appointment the Dr said nothing about testing. Diabetes runs in my family so I'm aware of the need for testing, so I called the VA (Veterans Administration, yes I'm American. Hope y'all don't mind a Yankee hangin around.) to...
