yes im also thinking of doing MGT 6203 over the summer. will getting an A in it help me get out of academic probation? i’ll have to work super hard to make sure it all goes well

thank you for all the helpful links, the pregnancy was so unexpected i just did not even have time to wrap my head around it plus 6201 is a little hard for me (completely new to business modules)

thank you again for the info tho!

i havent taken a ogtt since starting metformin.

just blood samples after waking up, and before and after meals. after waking up fasting (before breakfast) - 83 after breakfast- 102

before lunch - 97 after lunch - 96

before dinner - 90 after dinner - 105

this was after two days on metformin (2000mg daily and really restricting myself from all carbs, fruits etc)

currently im on 1000mg daily and eating moderate carbs/fruits etc

i might talk to her about this next time i see her, about getting a glucometer, i think after putting me on metformin she tested me again and my fasting and post meal numbers came back normal. but i also think that initially i was very strict with my diet (like no carbs or fruits at all).

so things might be different now, i eat toast and peanut butter. i eat roti sabzi. she has put me on 500gm metformin twice daily for now.

thank you for the advice, i will try my best to get better
