My doctor finally called, and it looks like my fasting glucose levels were low enough for my official label to be glucose intolerant, which is pre-diabetic. So, no daily finger pokes yet. I go back in a few months to check on everything, unless I start feeling worse. I cannot express in words how relieved I am. She said I need to change my diet, and that in doing so I could potentially prevent myself from ever being diabetic. This has been a huge wake up call for me, and I feel fortunate that that is all it is. Its like a second chance. praying

She said the reason I have felt worse since seeing her is the glucophage, but she wants me to stay on it, she says I will get used to the side effects and that it will help in the long run. Can do, doc. Roger Roger! grin



First, The Insulin Resistance Diet... Get it. It will save you.

Second, Glucophage has a 2 week adjustment period. During which time you will experience unpleasant side effects. The key to getting through them is to eat small amounts of food, frequently throughout the day. Also, stay away from anything spicy, greasy or high in simple carbs during the adjustment period. These will make things worse.

YAY! dancing

Your glucophage may need adjusted, depending, in addition to what Zoo said. They had me on TWICE the dose I really needed, and my blood sugar was in the low 70s at times, often after really sugary eating on my part, because of it (they gave me a meter and told me to test for two weeks -- and mine you could do in the arm or wherever; it didn't have to be the fingers). Are they giving you any diet education? (I need to look at the book Zoo mentioned -- that's a book, right, Zoo?)

And yay for LOA from craptastical job!

Yes, it is a book, and because of the nature of endocrinological conditions such as diabetes, hypoglycemia and insulin resistance all reacting in similar fashions, the book I mentioned works for anyone. It also works for people just trying to build muscle and trim fat.

It's not so much a *diet* in the traditional sense. More like a new way of eating. It's healthy, it promotes proper weight management, and when used in the strictest sense, can be a powerful method for losing weight and building muscle.

I look forward to the day when my other stuff is under control well enough to get back into the strict adherence to the diet plan. I'm maintaining weight right now, and that's only through balancing my diet from the things I learned in the book and the glucophage. Without those things, I would have reached critical mass for certain.

Regardless, Mistress, if you are looking for a healthy way to balance your diet and build yourself back up, I highly recommend this book, which was recommended to me by 4 of my doctors. It's one of the few things they all agree on, and it was created by a nurse and a nutritionist, and it isn't set up to make you feel stupid or to make you suffer.

I will pick up a copy, thanks Zoo. I bought a copy of Diabetes for Dummies, but I read it in thirty minutes and it barely touched diet. My doc merely stated I needed to embrace a healthy diet, but said no more about nutrition class. I am okay with researching it on my own (with all of your help, of course) and trying to keep more control to myself.

I can tell within about 2-3 hours of taking the glucophage that my sugar gets low...low enough to feel, so I have been eating lunch then. I mean business when I said I am perfectly willing to do whatever diet necessary to keep from going over the line.

With this baby, my eyes have changed shape. How do I know? everytime I lean forward (like to empty the dishwasher or look for my feet) the torric contacts slip around and I can't focus on anything for at least 15 minutes or so it takes them to settle back into place. Right now I'm typing using my killz from computer/typing class I took in high school. I have no idea what it actually says because all the letters are a big blur. angry

Have you tried calling the go-kart track?

Or doing like everyone else and finding the same car on the street and stealing its tire(s)?
