Hello! My name is Dimitra and I'm 23. I have metabolic syndrome but my blood sugar levels haven't been affected yet. I do have insulin resistance and for that I started taking metformin on the 27th of July. The plan is to increase the dosage weekly, until it reaches 1700mg/per day. I just wanted...

Hi Everyone - I am 32 and have 2 children. When my first child was born in 2017 I had gestational diabetes. After he was born I went right back to the gym and lost all of the baby weight and got in the best shape of my life. My husband and I experienced secondary infertility when trying for...

I am on Metformin ER and I am currently basically housebound due to frequent diarrhea. I am talking full sprints in the house to get to the toilet in time. This has been going on for a month. First my doctor said take ER instead of the regular stuff. Then he cut my dose. And still the problem...

Hello Has anyone had experience using metformin as a type 1? My doctor wants to try me on it to see if it will help reduce my appetite and hunger and hopefully help me drop a few pounds. I’m not particularly insulin resistant but I do have times where I need ALOT more insulin than usual. I’m...

Hi, I'm still on 2000g of metformin a day. I have fatty liver at 166. I have not been told by my doctor to stop metformin but I'm stressing I have googled and found that metformin shouldn't be used by people with liver problems. I'm assuming that's also "fatty liver" does anyone who's had fatty...

Hey everyone! So, a quick little background on myself before I start: around November last year (2017) I started feeling pretty unwell in general with just regular low moods, constant fatigue, etc etc. At the time I was in Fifth Year in school (Lower Sixth Form for the UK) and figured I was...

Hi, I'm doing a diet and regular (and vigorous) exercise 6 - 7 times a week. Already lost 3+ stones. I expect my doctor to take me off Metformin (2x 500mg / day) soon - even before my diet and weight loss the HbA1c was 49 - 50 and I'm hoping that it will be much lower than that now (I'll go for...

I had my first review of my bloods after being diagnosed in early September. I was at 103 but now I'm at 66! Not where it needs to be but I'm very happy with where I'm at so far. I've been playing a bit fast and lose with my diet, mostly just cutting down on carbs, and I had a horrid time with...
