New to the group.
Hello all I am new to the group as of maybe 10 min. ago. I was
diagnosed border-line diabetic, if there is such a thing in May of
last year. I was placed on Glucophage XR 500mg once a day and have
done quite well on it until the past few months. Sunday, my level
rose drastically and went to physician yesterday and he doubled my
gluc and added avandia. I freaked out and have been very depressed
ever since I left his office. I have not done very well dieting, nor
exercising and know that I should be. There are various things in my
life that have sort of had me down and out (depressed), so I got to
the point I might not take my meds for 2 days, have only been eating
once a day, not hungry basically. Well I do know that all of the
above is more than likely the cause of my sugar spiking so high and
now I am hopefully scared enough to follow the doctors orders. Have
any of you been to where you just didn’t worry about following meds,
diet etc.? If so how did you get out of the slump and get back on
track? I know nothing about Avandia for sure but I do know that the
doubling of the Glucophage has cause me severe stomach discomfort
again and am just wondering what to look forward to with the addition
of Avandia. Please advise if you have any information or anything.
Hopefully I am not to a point where I WILL follow orders. Hope to
get to know some of you and share in chats, recipies etc.
