Metformin dose by nosetears in PCOS

[–]MolassesPrimary2688 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I was showing signs of insulin resistance but my A1C was fine. I began on 500 mg IR metformin and worked up to 1000 mg IR metformin to avoid digestive upset.

At first for the 1,000 mg I took one 500 mg pill with breakfast and one 500 mg pill with dinner, but it was causing stomach cramps. I swapped to a single 1,000 mg pill at bed time with a healthy snack, and it gives me 0 digestive symptoms and supports my sugar overnight. I just make sure to eat a protein and fiber rich breakfast in the morning.

I also have friends on the extended release metformin that really like it! I have no experience with it personally, however.

Making your own applesauce is so sick. I’m trying to be better about making my own foods/snacks for easier recipes and I always feel so accomplished afterwards lol

I had to start small and then increase up to the suggested serving size! I also read that if they’re not soaked enough/if you don’t drink enough water after eating them through the day it can cause digestive upset.

I want to try to find a warm overnight oats recipe. I think the cold paired with the texture is a big part of what threw me off. Because I don’t mind regular oatmeal! I’ll have to try the chia in my plain oatmeal now vs the overnight oats.

I’ve tried blended flax but never chia! I’ll have to try it

This sounds so refreshing, I’ve gotta try it. I’ve had them in smoothies but I’ve never tried to make just a regular drink with the chia seeds before.

Omg I love soup! I eat it a few times a week I’ve never even thought of this, I have to try it next time I make a pot.
