Hi everyone,
I went to the GP yesterday and my Metformin has increased form 1 x500mg per day to 2 for the next 2 weeks and then up to 3 thereafter. I havent had any real side effects (well noticeable anyway) apart from extreme tiredness but I am not sure if that is the Metformin or the blood sugar (or the fact that I hear foxes outside the house crying and screeching every night which wake me up).
Question on the Metformin - how many people have lost weight when they have been taking 3 or more per day?
I am struggling to get my head around the carb issue. I ordered to books one on carb counting and one of glycaemic load (both still to arrive) so until they do I have just been cutting down portion sizes. Does anyone know if brown soda bread is ok to eat?
Thanks
