Close Obesity
I will be starting Meridia 10 mg tomorrow morning and don't know anybody that has taken it.
Treatments
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Somewhat Helpful
- I have changed my caloric intake and started reading food labels and this has helped with overeating and eating crap foods
- Meridia Too Soon to Tell
- I don't start until tomorrow (2/11/09)
- Slim-Fast Somewhat Helpful
- Sometimes it seems to help... other times not so much. I think I need to use the slimfast for breakfast every other day because I tend to feel more hungry if I take it too many days in a row... ????
Close Diabetes Type 2
I have been type 2 since 1996 but was gestational before that... In October, I became insulin dependent but I hope to reverse that by losing weight...
Treatments
- Dietary Modification Working / Worked
- Reading food labels and counting my carb/sugar intakes has done wonders for my sugars! Not to mention I notice that I don't feel as "lazy" or less energetic throughout my day.
- Eating Healthier Foods Working / Worked
- I have finally started to read food labels and change my diet quite a bit... I have lost about 7 lbs in the past month by just watching what I eat and walking... But I felt like I was starving at first! lol
- Glipizide Not Working
- This med always made me go Hypoglycemic without fail... I switched to Metformin
- Lantus Working / Worked
- Started out with 10 units nightly in late October and am now up to 30 units but it is working very well!
- Metformin Working / Worked
- I take 500 mg 2x daily but eventually, it just wasn't enough... When I first started, I had to also take Phenergan for anti-nausea...
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- Started walking around the neighborhood and on the treadmill... I have lost about 7 lbs doing this plus changing my diet in just the past month
Open Hypothyroidism
I have had Hypothyroidism since 1996 when I gave birth to my daughter... I also acquired type 2 Diabetes at the same time...
Treatments
- Synthroid Working / Worked
- I am up to 100 mcg now... although my doc said I was within normal range at 88 mcg, I chose to increase it a little more to be on the high end of the normal range... I have never noticed any "side effects"
