Sorry this is a bit long...
Husband was on metformin but had strange muscle cramps so was changed to glicazide but is overweight so I am confused and not a medic I know but I read that this drug isn't good for the more rotund of us...
Also had blood tests but no mention of kidney problems until returned with metformin issues and then it was a oh yes hmm you have protein leaking... So now on ramipril now changed to another because of cough.
I went in and queried the statins but was told firmly 40mg is the standard and shown a graph that shows cholesterol has reduced so maybe they hare ok? I Give him coenzQ10 so hope that helps. Asked about testing told not needed so didn't dare question the glicazide they think my names is Mrs I N Terference already!
. Again discussed testing ad Dr said don't test but different doc who changed the ramipril asked if he tests he said no because was told not to and then the subject was changed and nothing more said perhaps toeing the party line...?
I feel as if I am banging my head against a brick wall and now he is reluctant more than ever to test because they are the professionals and can't be wrong and it's me being over panic stricken. I feel like I have lost the plot and now can't work out if it should low sugar low calorie or LCHF or Harcombe or .which diet.
I am so confused as to the best diet...am reducing carbs and I am sure it's helping but without a test how can I be sure..also stopped crisps and replaced with nuts and now find cashews are high carb ...please can someone help me see the wheat from the chaff.... Oops no not wheat... Wood from trees!!!! Less carbs!!!
Joking aside I am really struggling for clarity... Sorry for the incoherent ramble
