I have been on MET for two years, DR keeps upping my dosage because my IR/Diabetes II is not responding to my meds. Glyburide 10MG twice daily and Metformin 500MG twice daily. The last year has been horrible! I seriously had to quit my job due to WAY too many missed days. I was in and out of the ER 12 times in two months. My Gallbladder was suspected because of the area of pain. I was also told I might have Gastroparesis. Finally the MET was suspect. I told my doctor between the restroom visits and pain I can no longer take MET and work. I wanted to quit MET. DR said to quit the job before quitting MET. My fasting sugars are 280+. I will ask her if I take CHROMIUM PICOLINATE and ALPHA LIPOIC ACID can I at least cut down on the MET I am taking.
Thank you SO much for this thread and this info GREAT information!!
