Pam in PA New to the Group I've been a member and reading all your posts for several weeks now. I'm having surgery on April 14th in Rock Hill, SC. I know this is a long way from most of you but would like to ask for your thoughts and prayers as I start my journey. I've learned so much just from reading the things some of you have experienced. Thanks for sharing and God Bless. Sandee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2003 Report Share Posted April 7, 2003 > Thanks Trace, I really like the support of everyone in this group. As you can expect I'm a little nervous but very excited.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2003 Report Share Posted April 7, 2003 >Hi Jeanne, Thanks so much for the post. I do have an angel from my Rock Hill group but would love to have someone from this group if it's not too much trouble. I know I'm not very close. You all are so supportive so just knowing everyone is thinking of me is more than I could hope for. Thanks so much! Sandee Hi Sandee - Would you like to have an angel from our wonderful group?

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 Hi all, I'm a 57y/o man and I was diagnosed with type 2 about 5 yrs ago, but lost weight and exercised, so I wasn't on meds. My last a1c was 6.2 and my morning numbers were high, like 140-160. About a month ago, my vision was getting a bit blurry and I have " pins and needles " in my lower legs. What I'd like some input on is: 1. Do my numbers warrant those type symptoms? 2. How fast should I get results from 1000mg. Metformin a day and will those symptons go away (I hope)? 3. My body feels " weird " on and off during the day, just not normal. Is that a normal symptom? 4. When I take my Bg should the number be relative to how I am feeling at the time? Any help would be appreciated, I'm a bit freaked at this time! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you're having a high fasting glucose, Metformin might not be enough anymore. How much do you take at the moment? > 3. My body feels " weird " on and off during the day, just not normal.

Test your blood sugar when you feel 'weird' and see if it is related to either low or high blood sugars. This will help you identify how you feel when you have one or the other (generally a low). If you can't attribute these feelings to a high or a low, be sure to mention it to your doctorr (actually you should mention it anyway)... maybe it is due to an allergy to the metformin? Does it happen at a set time after you take your pills? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
