Last Thursday I was diagnosed with PCOS insulin resistant/pre-diabetic.
The Endo put me on Metformin. 500 mg said to start with one and every couple oh days add another and work up to 4 x a day.
I am SO sick. I;ve never gotten past one a day. Symptoms are major nausea occasional stomach cramps. I am very tired occasionally get light headed and feel faint as if my blood sugar is too low.
The Endo said nothing about diet. The pharmacist encouraged me to try a low glycemic diet. Said I might be able to avoid meds.
So, I don’t know if I’ve over done it on restricting carbs or if I am one of those who have a really tough time with met.
Thoughts? Any tricks for alleviating nausea?
TIA, Tina
