yes.In fact it is a medicine that there are people who do not tolerate.You can give headaches, dizziness, gut pain and diarrhea.
When my endo prescribed it, he gave me the key to incorporating it little by little.
I started the first week with a half 850gr pill at meals.
The first day next to the bathroom.And in fact I lost weight.
The second week, I already took the full pill.
The third 1 at food and a half at dinner.
And finally in the fourth week, I already took the two full pills.0-1-1
It does not cause hypos.On the contrary.
A natural metformin is Berber.I also take it, and the moringa.They are plants that have been very good for me.
I also inject Apidra and Tresiba (it is the best slow) the Lantus gave me hypos in the morning.And the Tougeo did nothing to me, I had to inject many more units than with other brands.I don't know why.It was my particular case.
We are all different, so it is so important to share our experiences - it finally and eat few hydrates.From few to very few.

A question.
Do you use slow, fast insulin, metformin, berberine and moringa?All that?

Hello about the moriga, which is what you have more insulin or improve resistance.Sk I took it before but since they said as possible I stopped taking it and the truth is that it is very good

hello!

I wanted to know if metformin, at first causes diarrhea?

I have been told that I have to start taking ... and have I heard that it causes them very strong?

Thank you.


Metformin will prevent you from reaching diabetes.You have a very good glycosylated.Metformin is well known that causes diarrhea, but then your body gets used to.What you can do is start little.

How much did they send you metformin?Is it normal or prolonged release?In the mornings or at night?You have such a good glyc that with metformin, good food and exercise (walking is enough) you reversed everything, it is a fact!

I explain ... they tell me that in the last analytics I always get 108 or 110 ... the last 100 and therefore, they tell me that I am prediabetic and II understand either, I have lost 12 kilos in 3 months and glucose tests are always over 90 or 94 ... and for the doctor I consist as prediabetic ... They tell me that "I do to the idea" but with these levelsI would accept the disease, but with those levels ... in 3 weeks I have another analytical ... and will tell me more. What do you think?

Your levels are very good.109 is prediabetes but come on, each person is a world.With that glucosilada that you have without a doubt you are very good.Prediabetes is a condition that can lead you to diabetes, but good control can return to normal values.

A question, do you have yourself a glucometer?So that you measure yourself when you get up on an empty stomach and then 2 hours after eating and seeing the values.With that glucosilada, I can anticipate that your values ​​during the day are excellent ...

It depends on each person but if it makes you bad, it changes treatment with your treating doctor, the best and most expensive are glyphazines
