If I eat a meal with carbs, like I had a brown bread sandwich today with a few crisps and a small cookie after, I will fall asleep. I take metformin after lunch, but still I fall asleep. Does metformin not really work for insulin resistance if you eat high carb? I thought it would help me not to feel sleepy. I don't feel like that after my evening meal, if that is high carbs. Any tips?
I don't know the science why metformin is used for RH, unless you have T2 and RH symptoms. The reason why metformin is used is to protect the organs and help with glucose levels but hardly discernible, it is the first drug prescribed if someone has a potential probability of diabetes.
My endocrinologist and GP, took me off metformin straight away.
I can't understand why you would want to eat a high carb laden meal if you intend to get as healthy as I assume you want to be.
If you have been sticking to a lower carb intake then suddenly eating carbs will effect you a bit more because you will have become more aware of your lower blood glucose levels. Maybe that's why you are feeling drowsy after a carb laden meal.
With RH, I will advise to stick with as few carbs as possible.
I'm hoping that you have had a bit of success since you started posting.
