My Metformin was increased this morning to 1000 mg and in two weeks the pm dose will go up to 1000mg as well. I've been walking 2 miles nightly and watching carb intake. I am very sensitive to carbs and will spike after eating something as simple as oatmeal and low carb canned soup. I have crossed them off the list of foods I can eat. Im hoping the metformin will help control the spikes better with time.
I went to the local diabetes chapter and met with the social worker today. Got signed up for education and nutrition classes. They are a great resource.
Stress is off the charts. As I said in my first post, my husband wasn't supporting me so I sat him down to talk to him about it and he left me. So not only am I dealing with my diagnosis, but now Im single after 20 years. Im just sick.
Good news is I've had my baseline eye exam and my eyes look very healthy. Next visit wont be for another year. I have also lost 8 pound since I started my meds 2 weeks ago.
