Metformin
Was anyone nervous to start Metformin? And did you have side effects?
I’m finding with a lot of stress, and trying to manage my diabetes with diet and excercise is taking a toll on me, with back problems and other factors in my life, I’m feeling down, with having this disease and no one to talk to at home about my feelings. My daughter moved out in the summer and I miss are talks and doing things together, she has a busy life with working and a boyfriend, and it’s coming up to my moms 9 year anniversary of her passing and just feel like crying to be quite honest and Christmas around the corner I always feel the grief and my daughter and I would go out and shop and decorate the house, it’s just not the same. When I feel like this I just don’t want to do anything, it’s not depression. It’s the loneliness.
Hi
. This can be such a hard time of year for those who have lost loved ones. Please know we are here for you. I hope some people chime in about their experiences with metformin. My brother had no issues at all. Most people say they have issues for a few weeks, but that they diminish or go away entirely over time. I hope metformin takes a bit of the stress off you by helping you manage your blood sugar levels. It would be nice to have one less thing to worry about. Sending lots of gentle hugs your way. - Lori (Team Member) 
it sounds so tough, especially during the holidays. Starting Metformin can be daunting, and it’s normal to feel anxious about side effects. The grief you’re experiencing and missing your daughter must be incredibly heavy. Maybe finding little ways to honor those special moments, like decorating a cozy space for yourself, could help bring some comfort. Remember, you’re not alone in this feel free to share anytime. ❤️
Thank you for your replies it sure helps to have people like all of you who understand, I appreciate so much.
Hopefully you and your daughter can visit each other soon.
I started metformin 6 weeks ago. I don't know if it is working until I get labs in another 6 weeks. For now no ill effects. Best of luck!
