Met with my midwife today and surprise surprise I failed my 1 week glucose monitoring. The only times my numbers were good were if I didn't eat ANY carbs. I have been wanting to get on metformin for years to help with my pcos/IR and no one would give it to me because my a1c is "normal". That being said, I took my first dose (500mg) tonight with dinner and now about 3.5 hours later holy guacamole. My stomach is cramping like crazy!
I did some reading this afternoon, as I knew gas/upset tummy/diarrhea were common with met and saw a lot of recommendations to take it Halfway through your meal, which I did.
I guess I'm just hoping someone else is/has been on it and can offer a little more advice. I'm hoping within a few days my body will adjust but until then I think it's going to be rather miserable.
