Insulin Results

Well…I heard from Dr. H. today and it turns out my results from the GTT are exactly the same as the last time I took it. What the fuck! I’ve lost close to 18 pounds, I’m eating better, exercising more and I’ve stopped drinking. You’d think there would have been some improvement. In all fairness, Dr. H. did warn me that sometimes it’s necessary to up the dosage if there is no significant change. But really, what it boils down to is that I’m disappointed. Really disappointed. Dr. H.’s suggestion was that I double my dose of Metformin, have yet ANOTHER GTT on August 16th and then we’ll go from there. I get his reasoning. I do. I guess I’m still digesting this whole pre-diabetes, “you might have to take Metformin for the rest of your life” situation. Not to mention, type 2 diabetes is the LAST thing I want to have this develop into. Please, please, please let this work.
