Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / August 2007saw the endo today..
This is my first return visit since DX and my first since dx ac1 test. Wont know how i did for a while tho.. But i was very pleased with the visit! She saw my printout and asked how i was able to stay below 100 even after meals..lol. She was very impressed with my diet and trying to exercise despite the lethargy i complained of to her. I am geting a full bloodworkup to be sure i am not low on potasium or too much lactic acid from the metformin as she susspects. She was worried i keep my BG too low and could become immune to feeling a low low. My 12 hour fasting numbers was 60 so she decided i can try reducing or quitting the metformin and even the glipi if i like my numbers. Basically she left it up to me which i like she said i am so proactive and compliant that she isnt worried..which was nice to hear. I told her about how i was splitting the glipi and was impressed and told me she would redo my script from the 10 mg to the five i was taking and can split that before bed so im nearly drug free in contol! :-) She is having me try requip for the leg pain when i sleep to see if that helps and we will work on that issue and again feels the lethargy is likely the metformin so we will see if reducing to 500 in morning or stopping will fix that. Also got a scipt for water retension as somtims i get a bit puffy that she left up to me to take when i feel the need. She rocks and im glad she is my doc!

If your premeal BGs are less than 100, there is no longer a need for either the metformin or the glipizide. Premeal BGs less than 100 are normal. Be hungry... be healthy... be blessed: http://HeartMDPhD.com/PressRelease Prayerfully in Jesus' awesome love, Andrew <>< -- Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhD Cardiologist I like her, I really do. Krom. She is letting you be proactive in the care of your diabetes. You are doing well and maybe you are on your way to being med free and that could be wonderful. just be careful if you go med free that you will really have to watch with extreme care I am happy for you. Loretta Thank you! Yes i know the meds keeps me low and i could cheat alot more ...but i like goals and i want to return to the high activity and weightlifitng i loved pre DX. The metformin was just making me way to lethargic. Godd thing is she told me if i ever wish to adjusyt my meds call and she will rework it for me..no visit..just a call...what an amazing doc to have i feel very lucky! KROM >I like her, I really do.

[quoted text clipped - 32 lines] > > KROM I take a 2.5 mg dose of glip before bed and it allows me to sleep and wake with stable fasting bg numbers. I will play around with upping exercise and my meds dosage to see what works for me. Normally they have me fill a paper out with adress to get the results but didnt this time..im gonna have to call them i think..i want my numbers too good or bad! I will give them a week.

That was the worste..like being shot repeatedly in the leg with acid filled bullets or somthing! She said RLS can present that way and not just the tingly..wanting to move feeling most present with. KROM > She sounds great! Guess she's a keeper?! > > And you're doing such a good job. Whadda team! :-) Wow KROM, you are doing great! If it were me, I'd try dropping the glip instead of the Met. Just keep that in mind for later if the changes you make right now don't help. KC > This is my first return visit since DX and my first since dx ac1 test. > Wont know how i did for a while tho..
