Granted, Ive only been back on my meds for a few days...am I getting paranoid for no reason? Does it take the Metformin a while to level me out? I feel fine and am not shaky or anything but the BG is hovering between 200-280 no matter when I test. This morning I tested before i ate and it was 236...I tested just now, an hour after i ate and it was 287. I want to see me get into the low 100's. IS this something that is just going to take time, or what? |
Hi Luv,
I was trying to remember the progression of my medication doses. I started at 1000 a day of Metformin, that was increased to 850mg x 3, a day.
Then they added Glyburide, starting at 5mg, one a day, to two 5mg, twice
daily. That progressed to the insulin shots. My doctor made the changes, but he had me call with my progress every couple of weeks, and increased the doasage when my levels did not go down. I had a CDE tell me to keep calling my doctor, when I wasn't happy with the way things were going, she said most of them assume you are doing OK, if you don't.
