I had my follow up with my doctor today after starting my metformin. Its been almost three months since I started and I have to say I have been feeling much better. My doctor came in and said well, lets see how you have been doing with your blood work. I was hoping that my blood work reflected how I was feeling. She was reading my labs, and kept saying Wow..wow...wow..I said.."Is the wow a good wow or a bad wow". She looked at me and said "You made my day." I was like huh? She said that she could tell I had lost weight, which I have 25 lbs, and she said that all my levels are doing so much better. My A1C went from 8.1 to 6.1. I was so happy to hear that. She said that she usually gives her patients an A+ if they get down one number, so I got an A++ she said...lol. She asked me if I had seen the dietitian like she had suggested, I said no, that I had found this forum and had been following the LCHF diet suggested on here. Got rid of the soda, and have been walking much more. She was very interested about the LCHF diet and asked me quite a few questions. Even though she felt I was doing such a good job on my own, she still wanted me to see a dietitian, so I said I would. I am going to be very interested to what information he/she suggests once I go.
