Back in March I was having trouble seeing at distances even with my contacts. Plus going to the rest room a lot and really thirsty.Also was dropping weight and not on purpose. I knew something was going on. I called my doc and he did a A1C test. Came back at 13.9 and 338 blood sugar.
He put me on Metformin 500mg twice a day.
Since then I have cut all soda my main downfall. junk food as well. Started walking everyday.
The chiropractor is doing acupuncture to help rebalance my body.
Eating high protein, low carb. In addition to cinnamon supplements.Staying away from artificial sweeteners.
I am down to 215 pounds, was 250. I'm 6'3". My latest testing at home the past 2 weeks is 77-123 blood glucose!
I informed the doc and he reduced the Metformin to once a day. Goal is zero meds.
I feel so much better!
Still learning what food does what to me. Sugar is every where in out food. Good grief.
