Topic: Too Much Metformin
blood work....and not just your blood sugar and A1c. Normally the Metformin only affects you in the early months. There are other meds you can try. For some people, proper diet and lots of exercise work to lower blood sugar or stabilize it. For some, only med's help. Talk to your doctor about changing medications if the one you are taking is making you sick. jmac8900 !

If its prescribed by your doctor, try taking it with yogurt, a no sugar added yogurt is best, as it won't jack up your blood sugar.
The metformin is likely to cause stomach problems at first and the yogurt usually stops this problem. Take the metformin with the yogurt before meals, with a full glass of water. Metformin is the gold standard in oral diabetes treatment for type 2. If dietary changes...
Can Exercise And Weight Loss Prevent Diabetes? I'm kinda chubby and I'm trying to lose weight, but I was wondering, does exercise and weight loss help to prevent diabetes? I'm looking for serious answers and I'd love credible links and research if that wouldn't be too much trouble.

Guidelineshttp://www.diabetes911.net/readit/chapte… I'm insulin dependant - the key thing (for me) is balance. I have to avoid anything with too many carbs but that doesn't mean I can't eat chocolate or bread or pasta. Merely that in moderation and balanced by an intake of insulin and exercise, my blood sugar levels remain pretty flat.
On a more basic level, my diet consists of lots of veg (not too much potato), fish, dairy products (for...

people are limiting carbs to < 50g per day. My dietician says that that definitely is too low - current guidelines are for a minimum of 130g of carbs daily. You have to make sure that you are eating a healthy diet and not get too focused on the blood sugar readings to the exclusion of other health problems that might be caused by too much fat or protein in your diet....
would be if you are on medication, sushi alone might not be enough to stop you going 'hypo' It depends on how much rice affects your blood sugar in general. The protein in the fish might lessen the rice's affect on your blood sugar. Also, do the "diabetic" recipes use rice? If they call for a substitute ingredient, and that ingredient doesn't raise your blood sugar too much in other foods, you...

Good luck, I know the metformin can make your stomach hurt, so hang in there. And there is always insulin! Insulin works very...
stick to natural foods, like veggies, fruits, nuts, and whole grains while avoiding (as much as possible) refined carbs and too many animal fats, it's pretty easy. It works so well, that with a little exercise, I put away the Metformin last December. Haven't touched any medication since. I'm so jazzed about all the newfound energy and feeling good, that I've posted a little blog for folks like...

I started on this program because I too was threatened with medication. One side effect of all this is that I am close to being in the best shape of my life.
Good luck. yes
