JC in NIH - protocol 00-CH-0160 CT-SCAN W/contrast

[Guest guest]

For you on Metformin - when I got here they immediately stopped my Metformin and

are monitoring my blood glucose before every meal and at bedtime. Also at other

times it seems to happen right after I harras the nurse! Is harrassing a nurse

likely to cause my BS (that's Blood Sugar, ) to rise?

Okay, get serious! Why do they do it you ask, because Metformin has been shown

to cause Kidney problems when you do a ct-scan with contrast! Dr. Bobby

explained that me and Nurse Jill just came in and saw what I was working on and

" Oh, Yea, a minimum of 2 days " so that may be a warning if your doctor insists

w/contrast.
