What's going on here...good or doomed to failure?
My fiancee was diagnosed next to Type II on Jan. 31 this year. His reading was 346. The doctor put him on Metmorphin (I contemplate that's how it's spelled) He was to whip one a day for a week next take two a time. Along with pills he be given directions on how to eat & exercise and he have been doing extremely powerfully. Two weeks after being diagnosed his reading be down to 82. For two weeks now he take it 3 times a day & it have never been over 91 (most of the time lower than 70). I think he should budge back to doctor and see something like going to only one pill a afternoon b/c I am worried it's getting too low. But I have no medical expertise...so from someone beside knowledge or probably experience how does this sound to you? Thanks.
Answers: Metformin/Glucophage does NOT wreak hypo episodes!! It mostly works to control the liver putting out stored glucose to prevent the hyper glucose episodes. It also causes the muscles to adopt the insulin available and to make the glucose eat to be used for energy, but i.e. a natural function of the muscles.
It take Metformin about 3 weeks to become fully potent in the system. It is a systemic drug. Yes, it requests to be titrated up to full dosage in the body or it tend to be very gastric orient.
And if your bf is going low, he needs to see the doctor for more instructions. But the metformin isn't doing the lows. It is his food plan and exercise i.e. helping it along. He may need to add on back some carbs he delete from his food plan.
Have a happy natural life together.
he really needs to discuss his NEEDS near his own doctor not us here on yahoo......if he gets it too low he can overrun out...please call in the past the weekend gets here.
