Blood sugar testing
Hi I'm type 2 diabetic and I currently manage this by taking metformin 3 times per day weight each meal. I am concerned that I never know what my blood sugar readings are and asked my gp if I could have a test kit however was told I didn't need one. Does anyone test theirs and if so what type of monitor

Metformin for insulin resistance
I have insulin resistance. I'm constantly hungry no matter what I eat. I'm overweight and on the pathway for bariatric surgery. To get the surgery I need to lose some weight mainly to demonstrate I'm committed. It's almost impossible to loose weight while feeling this hungry. I get shakey and struggle

Allergic to meds?
I haven’t posted in a while, but I have had new symptoms and issues that I am curious as to whether others have experienced. Quick background, all autoimmune tests negative, blood sugars in control, no Lyme disease or myasthenia Gravis, yet I have had nerve pain for 16 months that is unexplainable.

About the recent insulin articles
There have been various articles and media stories about whether there is a correlation about pre diabetes insulin resistance and fibromyalgia. Also, whether the use of the drug metformin can treat fibromyalgia pain and give relief. The University of Texas study can be found here: https://journals.plos.org

Low cortisol levels thyroid hormone levels, especially on T3/NDT

High blood sugar
Well, our MO was a definite BIG NO on prescribing Metformin. Even after reviewing Kevin’s fasting glucose numbers and the pile of studies I had on Metformin. We were told to get his primary care physician to prescribe it. (Problem is he doesn’t have one). Anyway have been researching and reading here
