Emmy replied to DavidLenn's discussion 'Lowering High Blood Sugars Without Feeling Hypoglycemic'"I'm NOT a doctor, but I often start new meds by taking a quarter or half dose, unless it states on the packaget DO NOT SPLIT THE DOSE.
I would start with 500 mg of metformin per day, for two weeks, and then add another 500 per day. In another…"
Azurah replied to DavidLenn's discussion 'Lowering High Blood Sugars Without Feeling Hypoglycemic'"If your sugars are that high, the metformin probably WON'T bring them down the quickly. Please stay on it and give it a chance to work. You can also start working on your diet and by slowly reducing your carb intake.
I didn't have hypo…"

DeeJay replied to DavidLenn's discussion 'Lowering High Blood Sugars Without Feeling Hypoglycemic'"I was going to say what Randy ^^^ said. Your body is used to being High all the time, 197 is not low and drinking fluids to bring it up is not a good idea. Being high all the time is causing a lot of damage to your body.
Your goal should be to feel…"
Randy replied to DavidLenn's discussion 'Lowering High Blood Sugars Without Feeling Hypoglycemic'"Everyone is giving you good advice, but let me put it a little differently. Your body has grown used to extremely high BG and what you are going through is essentially withdrawal. Yes, it will be uncomfortable, but this discomfort is temporary and…"
BadMoonT2 replied to DavidLenn's discussion 'Lowering High Blood Sugars Without Feeling Hypoglycemic'"I brought my sugars down quite dramatically very quickly. I experienced the same feelings of feeling really terrible at first as my readings came within range. For me, I felt that the high blood sugars were doing me real harm as they had been high…"
Super_sally replied to DavidLenn's discussion 'Lowering High Blood Sugars Without Feeling Hypoglycemic'"Hi,
I thought you said that you took metformin in the past already with no ill effects and that it was only when Gluctrol XL was added in that your sugars went down.
If you didn't have a problem last time, you aren't like to have a problem…"

brokenpole replied to DavidLenn's discussion 'Lowering High Blood Sugars Without Feeling Hypoglycemic'"David, bsc is giving you the best advice. Get those BG readings down.
If you don't like the feeling of the hypo as your body adjusts then doing it slowly over time is just going to make it worse on yourself. Your body is going to feel it as you…"
Len A replied to DavidLenn's discussion 'Lowering High Blood Sugars Without Feeling Hypoglycemic'"I think if you would let the medication work getting your BG's in the low 100's for several day's you will quickly notice that you will come to recognize those feelings as normal as opposed to hypoglycemia. If you have some higher…"
Brian (bsc) replied to DavidLenn's discussion 'Lowering High Blood Sugars Without Feeling Hypoglycemic'"If you wanto bring your blood sugars down slowly, you can make that choice. But high blood sugars are really harmful. Many doctors would leap to putting you on insulin and getting your blood sugars down to 100 mg/dl despite any terrible hypo…"

I have been a Type 2 diabetic for many years now. Never have really concerned myself with the diabetes, due to not having insurance, unemployed, etc.I finally got to see a physician who put me on Metformin 1000 mgs 2 times a day. I took that with no ill effects. I went and saw him again, and all they do at his clinic is a finger stick. No FBG, no A1C, etc. He then added Gluctrol XL 2.5 mgs 1 time a day. The first day I took it, my sugars were 197. I know this is high, but for me I felt…See More
