Just diagnosed yesterday
Hello all, my name is Sandy im 54 and was just diagnosed yesterday with type 2 . This is all new to me and slightly scary. Just had bloodwork done and A1C was 7.7. Doc started me on Metaformin. If anyone has any advise for me I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks again.
I was just diagnosed yesterday, 3/3. I haven't seen my doctor yet, but they mentioned Metformin. Not excited about medication. Keep my posted on your progress.
Good luck! Im 2 days into the metaformin so far diarrhea and aweful sounds coming from my stomach, but was told to expect it till my body adjusts.. My sugar went from 233 tuesday to 155 this morning so its working. Welcome to the club! Although its a club id rather not be in.
That is a better club than the opposite. I pray for your good health.
I was just newly diagnosed as well - Taking Metformin for about a month now and I was having diarrhea as well but it has stopped thankfully. Dr also prescribed Ozempic which is a weekly injection. I'm also having some vision issues which I'm terrified about. I'm hoping to connect with others in that sense. I wish you all the best xx
@Liz Hiles Hi Liz, Yes. I've been going to a ophthalmologist at a retina specialist. They started me on eye injections but now for the left eye on Friday I have a laser treatment scheduled. I'm glad I found this place.
