Well, to be honest..I am snacking a smidge now LOL!!
But, with this medicine..the Met'..(LOL!) I can say that I am NOT snacking nearly as much on this ..I seem to be full, and if and or when I eat too much, I tend to have a stomach ache!! I have kind of noticed that I seem to feel slightly nauseated..kind of sickly...I hate that!!
But, I guess that the metformin really makes you stop wanting to eat...I have hard that is suppresses the urges...I wonder if this is also…
Continue I am doing better with the metformin...so far!!

I don't have that much of a need to snack on foods..but, perhaps I am also mending my ways..and trying to "work with the meds"..either way.. I am a LOT better than I was before...
I do have headache pain..but, a LOT of it is due to a couple of toothaches that I have been dealing with..they hurt a LOT!!
and one in particular..I have to keep taking Ibprofin..I can't stand the toothpain..I have been in this situation with tooth pain in the last ten years..it is soooooo NOT… Continue

<i></i>Well, since I wrote this...I am beginning to be afraid of the diabetes..I am NOT shutting my eyes or ears that much anymore...I keep hearing about "Complications"..and the funny thing(which is really NOT funny at all) is that I keep hearing diabetic commericals..right when I am dealing WITH my own issues..it's almost as if "something" or "somebody" is trying to open my ears up!!!
I also see things in the news that scare the daylights out of me..regarding dying from…
