last week i got the balls to email my doc and ask to switch my meds... and she let me! so now i'm no longer taking glipizide. i've been taking metformin er since friday. i had some gi upset the first day but not much after that. also, yesterday i started taking r-ala along with evening primrose oil and biotin. i need to remember to take my multivitamins... i read that metformin can cause a decrease in absorption of b12. i might have to just buy some b12 supplement to take. i don't wanna be deficient and have neuropathy. i hate pain.
my bs is higher than it was on glip but met takes a couple weeks to build up to see it working. i just hope that its not ruining my liver/kidneys and that i can stay on this med. i have to take labs in a week to find out. *crossing fingers*

wow, a couple months has passed since my last post!
i am just waaaay too busy with school. i hate this quarter. community might be the reason i fail a quarter. i have no idea how to study for this class. i was failing mental but my grade has gone up so i'm glad.
as for health stuff, i just viewed my results from february 15 again... here they are:
hgba1c 8.7
cholesterol 210
triglycerides 221
hdl 38
ldl 128
so everything is lowering which is good (except for hdl! i don't know whats going on with that). it's been awhile since i've heard from my doc. usually she bugs me every couple weeks. i guess she feels my numbers are going down so she's probably going to contact me soon to check again.
numbers for the last month:
5/1 104 142
4/30 82 121
4/29 88 n/a
4/28 101 117

idk whats up with forgetting to check bs a lot this month! i'm blaming the stress of school! i'm going cuckoo!
also, i'm worried about taking glip. i read somewhere that it destroys beta cells!! i don't want my beta cells destroyed! i'm not sure what to do :(
