Default question for experienced met ladies

I had my dosage increased to 1500 mg back in November and right away I noticed all of my symptoms were going away, my skin was clearing, my chin hairs were gone for a couple of MONTHS, and I lost weight (although I am not overweight)...also the rough patches of skin on my knuckles were gone. Anyway, just in the past 3 weeks I have noticed ALL of them coming back and low blood sugars (NOT extremely low, but low for me) a couple of hours after I eat. Is it possible that my body is adjusting to the dosage and I need it increased again? I hope not because then what if it keeps doing that and I end up on a million mg's? I am worried now that I will never feel good again!

Is your lifestyle changing at all? Have you been following a diet that regulates your insulin and exercising consistently? The reason is that for me, the meds were really limited until I quit counter-acting the drug with my diet and got real about my exercise. Those things have a HUGE impact on our insulin and can make the drug work harder than it has to to help us.

Don't know if that applies to you, but Good luck!
