and I'm thrilled! This was a new endo that prescribed it; two other Dr's told me they would not prescribe meds until my numbers were 7.0 or higher. This Dr. told me his goal is to have his patients under 6.0. Woo-hoo! I don't understand why other Dr.'s don't understand that if my numbers are lower long term, I will be healthier longer.
The bad news is that he prescribed Metformin ER. I was taking this med about a year ago but stopped it when I started losing large amounts of hair. I told the new endo this, he disagreed it was the cause of hair loss, but thought it was fair if I stopped taking the med again if I had the same problem.
I was told to take 1000 mg. in the morning before any food. Does that seem right? I know it's the ER version, but that's different than what I did last time.
