Diabetes Type 2 Support Group
Type 2 Diabetes is a condition in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or does not make efficient use of it. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert food into glucose, a sugar that the body uses for energy. Without enough insulin, glucose can accumulate in the blood, and can cause serious health problems such as heart disease and strokes and organ damage...
Well, first off hello everyone I missed you all.
Allthough I my test result came back better without taking medcine,I noticed my sugars have been running a little high so I decicded I will go ahead and listen and take the medicne, I was on Metformin ER 1000mg and then she changed ot to 500mg which I could not tolerate and then she swithched it to Glucophage XR and I was being stubborn because I knew it was the same and didnt take it now she seithched it to 500mg and to try it for a week which i should have did last month and call her back if i couldnt tolerate,
I'm on my second day and I just don't know what to eat. I work early mornings so it hard for me to come up with things on the go. Yesteray and today I did eggs and a smoothie because I had work later and today I am off, Yesterday i got sick as expected but I will update you guys for today later on.

You can make one for each day they keep in the Fridge,
For breakfast I have Shredded Wheat, sprinkle Fibre #1 on top with some Splenda. First I pour milk over the shredded wheat and microwave for 12 seconds. Then I top with a banana.
Also I have 1 slice of 100% Whole Wheat bread with no sugar jam.
Also I drink a large glass of water with the breakfast and finish with coffee with Splenda and 1 % milk.
I don't have any problems with the Metformin.
