Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to say hello to you all and introduce myself.
I've been prediabetic for about 12 months, and I finally crossed the threshold at my latest screening. It wasn't a surprise—over the last 2 or 3 months, I noticed some changes/issues that made me suspect I wouldn’t be lucky enough to get into regression.
I’m now prescribed and taking one Metformin 500mg tablet per day and one Empagliflozin (that name trips off the tongue, doesn't it?) 10mg tablet per day.
It's day 2 on my medication, and I’m hoping today goes smoother than yesterday.
I think I’m in that "rabbit in the headlights" phase right now—I’ve never had to take anything beyond Anadin Extra before, and at nearly 52 years old (despite the pre-D warning), I thought I was going to be invincible.
Alas, no... I’m about to dive into the forums to see what’s what with these two medications, as I don’t want to repeat yesterday every day. I also want to make sure I’m taking them correctly (with a meal at breakfast currently). Today, I’m 3 hours in and feeling okay (metallic taste, but no headache, no nausea, and no feeling like I’m moving in slow motion).
Any hints, tips, or pointers towards recipes would be VERY welcome. (Giving up bread is going to be the hardest thing)
Thanks,
Paul (Rez)
