 Glucophage, low blood sugar/fainting
Hello Ladies, I posted this on the Metformin board, but since I post here all the time and I know most of you... I wanted to get your advice too.
---------------------------------------------------------
I've been on 1000 mgs of glucophage since May 1st. I've been perfectly fine, hardly had any side effects at all. I managed to ovulate after starting the 1000 on May, got pregnant... but had a m/c.
I've been trying since then to get another BFP, but that hasn't happened thus far. Anyway, I seen my doctor today, and he upped my gluco to 1500, which I begged him to do. He warned me that I could get seriously low blood sugar (I am prone to hyperglycemia) and I could faint... also I am not to take it before bed, so I don't have a low blood sugar attack in my sleep.
I am light headed a lot already, and have dizzy spells.. but I doubt that they are related to the 1000 mgs of gluco I am taking, since I recall having this for years now, but I wanted to ask if any of you have had these sorts of problems with your met/gluco? Perhaps its just PCOS issues...?
He also plans to do lab work on me, so I won't start the 1500 for a couple days yet. He mentioned that my insulin level was only 10 back in December... so I imagine with the gluco its a lot lower.... do any of you know if taking the gluco with a low insulin level... can harm anything? Since I started taking it to lower the insulin in the first place....???
Thanks,
Kimberly
