| | | Hi Amy,
Welcome
I had trouble with my pills when I first started. The metformin gave me serious stomach issues, but this has passed. Good luck.

| | | Welcome Amy! Glad you found the forum. Lots of great people and good information here.
Hope you have a monitor and are testing...A LOT! Testing 2 hrs after your first bite of food will allow you to see how different foods affect blood sugar and help you make smarter food choices.
Are you getting regular exercise? That's esp. important as well.
Hang in there....it all gets less overwhelming as time goes by.
