So the sweet success doc prescribed me Metformin about 4 weeks ago and I haven't taken it because I felt like my fasting blood sugars were normal between 70-90 and they wanted me to take it at night to control fasting levels so it made no sense.... So now they tell me to take it in the morning to control levels during the day.... I honestly don't want to take it but I just took my first pill to shut them the hell up !!!!!!!!!
I'm so angry about these pills ....they tell me if I don't then my baby will be in NICU because his sugars will be out of control I think they say shit like that to scare you !!!!!!!! I'm not even full blown diabetic and it's not like my sugars are over 200....
Sometimes I really hate doctors
Venting session over
same here i had to take it cause in the morning my fasting levels are always in the 90s so the nurse from sweet success has me taking it every night. but the never told me about the baby dieing she just said the baby can weight alot at birth lol. but i stopped going to them there appointments
It's not about you feeling fine.... It's about what your body is needing. Many people feel fine and end up having strokes and heart attacks. If the pill makes you sick find another. But I'd much rather my child be healthy than worry that I didn't properly care for myself and caused them issues.
i took that for different reasons due to having pcos & was trying to get pregnant, im not diabetic just insulin resistant & blah blah but my ob had me taking it 3x a day with a meal... man when i tell u (TMI sorry) i shit like there was no end in fuckin sight for MONTHS liquid, never a solid stool, i did lose weight but it never helped me get a period & it made me feel like absolute death! my best friend who is severely diabetic doesnt even take it & was like 3x a day is so crazy for someone like u. i was just doing what the dr said bcuz they have the degree & i dont, but knowing what i know now after it not helping, girlllll smh i dont blame u for not wanting that shit
I honestly think they tell us that shit to scare us but i don't want to not take it and something happens ....so I just take the stupid pill ...I'm like you I feel fine so what's the point. Giving us extra stress
uhhg I'm have to do all that as well. I miss the OK mark by 7 points so I'm in the high 90s but I don't feel I should have to do all that cuz I feel fine. then my doc said it to keep baby alive cuz if it gets to high the baby could die inside me 😱 why do they have to say shit like that.. uhhg makes me feel bad.
@dcb012, for one I know all about diabetes everyone in my family has diabetes and my glucose ranges are lower than theirs ...my mother takes this pill and she's full blown diabetic ...my grandfather just passed away from diabetes and stroke complications so I'm well aware about what I need to do !!! I'm not full blown diabetic so for me to have the same meds and dosages as a full blown diabetic raises an eyebrow for me ...like I said I'm fine my baby is healthy I take care of myself ...just because a doctor tells you to take something doesn't mean you need it
