Hi
I was diagnosed with t2 diabetes a year ago with pcos as I'm trying to get pregnant ATM. I take 4 metformin pills a day for the pcos but always controlled my bg with diet. Went from diagnosis bg of 7.1 ( limit is 7...) to 6.4 on diet alone, the. 5.4 or so with metformin
This month I've started taking clomid to help me ovulate and since then I have been ravenous. I finished taking the pills a week ago ( you take them day 2-6) and was hoping that the hunger would fade. I can eat a full dinner, toast, fruit,drink litres of water, still feel like I haven't eaten for days.
I've not put any weight on as well which doesn't seem normal to me the amount I've eaten. I have tried a higher protein diet - the m&s fuller longer range but it made no difference
I have heard that clomid can do this but I'm a bit concerned that it could have triggered something with my diabetes. I don't test my bloods apart from at 6 monthly checkup so have no way of telling. I'm not overly thirsty or peeing more, just starving hungry and hunger headaches. Is it worth me trying to get a dia nurse appt? Wont be easy which is why I turn to dr google rather than calling them
Many thanks
Helen
