I agree with the others... High blood sugars can cause a sudden onset of fatigue. It's more likely the food than the met. What are you eating/drinking?Hi, I have been placed on Metformin for type 2 diabetes, each time I take it, with food. Within 30 minutes, I feel really tired. Is this normal?
I usually take met, with my breakfast. Usually have a coffee and 2 slices of toast.I agree with the others... High blood sugars can cause a sudden onset of fatigue. It's more likely the food than the met. What are you eating/drinking?
Oh that explains it - bread is really high carb so it would have hit your energy levels like the proverbial ton of bricks.I usually take met, with my breakfast. Usually have a coffee and 2 slices of toast.
I really need to find out what I can and cannot each. My nurse hasn't really explained much at all.Oh that explains it - bread is really high carb so it would have hit your energy levels like the proverbial ton of bricks.
My nurse rang me today, to see how I was getting on, each time I started to tell her something she didn't listen, spoke over me most of the time. I did manage to find out my blood sugar level had gone from 50 to 58. And that doesn't sound like it's going the right way.I really need to find out what I can and cannot each.

Ah - well if you are a typical ordinary type two like me, we can eat meat, fish, seafood, eggs, cheese, salad stuff and stirfry or roast veges which are low in carbs. I usually stick to foods which are 10 percent carbs or less.I really need to find out what I can and cannot each. My nurse hasn't really explained much at all.
Yeah.. Toast'll do that to you. https://josekalsbeek.blogspot.com/2019/11/the-nutritional-thingy.html <-- that might help some with the food. You'll notice a change in energy levels right quick if you change your diet. And the HbA1c'll go down too. I'm sorry your nurse is just going through the motions, but that's common, alas. Just take it upon yourself to make improvements if no help is coming from that way. It's a re-learning about nutrition, and everything we think we know goes out the window, but.... You're going to make her jaw drop at your next HbA1c!I usually take met, with my breakfast. Usually have a coffee and 2 slices of toast.
