I'm new to this group and I'm glad that I found it.I found out about
21/2yrs. ago and I take metformin 500mg.1tablet 2x a day.I'm still
trying to figure out how all this works.I talked to a deitician
about this and she told me with the calories the Dr. has me on I
need to eat 75 grams of carbs per meal(3) and 40 for a bedtime
snack.I do really good about keeping my blood sugar under control it
usually runs in the 90's.The dr. told me when I first found out that
I was diabetic that if my blood sugar went under 80 to eat something
sweet and if it ran over 180 to go to the E.R. and get an insulan
shot.Thank goodness I have never had to do that if it runs over a
115 is unusual.I just don't know what to expect.I hear about people
going into insulan shock or something and I wonder if that could
happen to me.I have 2 kids at home I'm single and one is 18yrs old I
do have a 6 yr old too. And I know they wouldn't know what to
do.When I first found out I had this when I went to the E.R. my
blood sugar was 646.But they got it down and it hasn't been over 143
since then.I hope I can learn more about this through other
experiences and things.Thanks Robin
