Today is Thursday & I started Metformin on Monday. My sugars at last blood work were 6.4. I told the doctor I would try it for 3 months. I am finding that I am retaining fluid & I don't go 'pee' as often or 'pee' as much when I do.
I am trying to get back into the Intermittent Fasting (20:4) that I tried before. Using water, or a glass of Ice Tea or a piece of fruit within the 20 hrs if I need to & then having supper & a snack around 8.30pm. But the snack has to be healthy as in homemade muffins & green tea.
I feel I should have been down more this morning.
A ring that I easily put on my finger on Monday evening, I haven't been able to get back off. I'm also partly constipated I think. Metformin can cause diarrhea I was warned, but I must investigate & see if water retention is another side effect. As long as it doesn't make me gain weight as most meds do.
With Christmas next week, it will be hard to lose.
Merry Christmas to anyone who should read this.
