Another note:
I've just been prescribed Metformin. While it's got my levels under control and decreased my insulins by 90%, there are some side effects.
AS SOON as I started taking it my eyes got out of focus. According to research, That's a good thing since my eyes are reshaping due to not having the extra glucose in my cells... HOWEVER, it's driving me F-in NUTS since I can't really see... It looks like I'm walking around in a shower or sauna... I have glasses to correct for long distance which helps with driving, but typing this post is a bitch...
High sugar+drug use cause me to have a seizure and lose about 30% vision in my right eye , now my left eye is worse... Can't wait and am hopeful it corrects SOON.
If you lose vision after years of Metformin, they say that's due to a vitamin B-12 deficiency... A few reasons I'm posting this
1) to make people aware this can happen with Metformin
2) To ask if others experienced similar issues with this drug
3) to remind the importance of eye exams (although my doc told me to hold off until my levels stabalize at a lower level)
4) to bitch and moan about it...
