I've only been diabetic since January and I"m still learning. Wouldn't insulin allow me to adjust more easily to what I need? Two days ago I absent-mindedly drank my toddlers leftover cereal milk (I know, gross) and the sugar spiked me to 377. If I'd had fast-acting insulin, I could've used that. I felt so dizzy, but I forced myself to ride my excercise bike for 20 minutes and I guess that helped drop my numbers.
I had gestation diabetes with my last child and had to inject myself daily, so I'm not squimish at all with self-injections. I am however concerned about long-term effects of the Metformin on my organs.
BTW, my 2-hr afters are about 150-160, and my fasting numbers are about 100-110. I'm supposed to take 1000mg Metf twice daily, but at night sometimes I only take 500mg if I'm already down near 100.
I'd appreciate any advice!
