I'm wondering if the Dr. will put my husband back on meds when he sees his BS records today. He was on Glipizide but never felt good on them, extreme fatigue and dizzy spells. What are you on? Any problems with it? Amber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 I was diagnosed last Monday and immediately put on Metformin 500 mg once a day. I'm still waiting on the appointments with the diabetic counseling nurse and dietician. Aazari The Art of Jolie E.

I was trying to print out the GI list when my printer ran out of ink, so I'll finish it when I can afford to get the cartridge. Can't afford it right now as I'm still looking for work and our budget is thin due to us going to a festival this weekend. Aazari The Art of Jolie E.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 It could be the added fat in the food causing the carbs to not " spike " as fast. Fat has that effect on many people.
