well my dr has told me to try the low carb diet, and so thats why i started it, she told me that once i lose enough weight i wont even need the metformin (im not sure why i need it now, all of my blood sugars/etc were normal levels when tested when i was first diagnosed.)..but i tried to call and didnt really get an answer, and i dont see her until october. so i dont know, we'll see. Leenie-i thought it could be the detox thing as well, but i dont really eat a whole lot of processed foods/flour/etc. i eat pretty much fresh things, wheat, brown rice, veggies, etc...i might just wait until i see my dr again because i got no help from the office when i called, and its been awhile and i tried calling again and still have not gotten a response..guess shes very busy
its a big office and its an hr away from where im at..my husband said i should just hold off til i see her
thanks for all the help!!
