You are right, I was expecting metformin to make life easier for me:) I expected it to decrease the amount of days I felt low in energy, my fainting, cravings... I read some good stories about metformin, so I was expecting to have one of those stories. Like I wrote above, I was even more...

Thank you very much for this detailed explanation. In my case it is interesting that I had been trying to follow high protein/veggies/healthy fat and low carb diet for last 2 years when I was diagnosed. It was not a very strict diet but I had been more careful than everyone I know. People even...

I couldn't see a similar story, people who has delayed or missed periods mostly have pcos, but my overs are totally healthy. I will still go and have another look, maybe repost this to there. Thank you very much.

That's totally fine, thanm you for trying to help me. Sorry if I couldn't describe it well, I am not waiting to eat after metformin. K take it just after my meals. I am not avoiding fat, its just that I don't like too oily foods and after my struggle with insulin resistance, I am trying to lose...

I wish you'd read what I wrote before writing 'dumb':) Like I said, I visited my gynecologist and he said everything seemed normal, we are just waiting for the results of other hormones. I am not that uneducated. Thank you for your answer.

Hi all, I hope you can help me. I am on merformin for around last 6-7 weeks because of my insulin resistance. The result of my ogtt test showed that while my insulin was rising to a higher number, my blood sugar was going down rapidly. So it was reactive hypoglycemia due to insulin...

I always checked if what I was consuming included any sugar. When they had carbs, I made sure these carbs were complex ones (like bulgur or lentil). I have been reading a lot about nutrition and diet, since I was 15, so I believe I didn't go wrong when I tried low carb diet. It still made my...

Yes definatelly, that sounds like a positive thing. Fingerscrossed - hopegully it will help me too.

I wonder if it will work too... I guess I'll only be able to see it clearly in 2-3 months.

When I say protein, I mean meat, chicken, fish (mostly salmon), eggs. I have never used any protein included supplement.

It was more like a paleo diet. For example, I used to eat - breakfast: eggs, high fat (healthy-organic) cheese, 15 mixed nuts, tomatos, cucumber for breakfast. - in the middle: a coffee with full milk (sometimes) - lunch: a small soup, a portion of meat (with it's own fat), a small side salad...

I agree with you, but seriously, no one can say that I have gained these 5 kg's as muscle mass. It's obvious, and what I used to wear doesn't fit anymore. That's another issue, I don't feel like the resistance work (what I do is way heavier than what other girls in the gym do) help me to get...

I got it know! Thank you so much!

Oh okay! I will definatelly do that. I hope it gives me an idea about my issue with the exercise. Thank you!

When I did low carb-sugar diet, I didn't use metformin. In fact, I didn't even know I had insulin/blood sugar issues. I was just trying to şose weight with that diet. So you mean if I do low carb/sugar diet together with the metformin, I will benefit from it?

My doctor said I have RH due to my insulin resistance. He said he prescribed metformin for my insulin resistance. So my insulin would go lower, as a result of that, my blood sugar will rise. So it will help my RH too. This is. My endoc's explanation for why he gives metformin for my case, but I...

Oh thank you so much! Like I wrote above as a reply, low carb+low sugar diet made me worse, I gained more weight. And yes, I feel like exercise makes it harder for me to control my appetite, and even if I control it and don't consume any extra food, exercise still makes me gain weight time to...

Thank you so much for your reply! I tried really low carb and sugar diet for around 3 months, before I was diagnosed and prescribed metformin. I Kkpt doing exercise too. It made me gain more weight! I feel like I am the only person who cuts off the sugar and carbs and gain more weight. Now I...

I will look up to Atkins. Thank you!

I have been gaining weight unintentionally for 2 years. I do eat well, countşng calories proteins carbs etc, (beside the times I cannot control sugar addiction attacks) and I do serious resistance and cardio trainings 4 times a week. I still gain weight slowly. I am 25 years old, not yet...
