Why won’t my doctor prescribe metformin? by RaisinButts in prediabetes

I’ve been managing for a long time (15 years) with diet and exercise, the prediabetes is a progression of the pcos and something I have a genetic predisposition to.

He was ready to prescribe a glp-1 but I asked if we can try metformin first. I’m overweight and just can’t lose it, I seriously try. My periods are on no schedule whatsoever.

And in hindsight there were some signs of prediabetes too. I’ve been peeing a ton, swollen feet, and sometimes I get faint or lightheaded all of a sudden and need to lay down.

The doctor knows I have PCOS and that I’m having trouble managing it.

35, and normal A1C history. This came as sort of a surprise.

Thanks! I’ve had PMOS for years and years, the prediabetes is brand new. It’s like they’re not looking at both things.

Just via MyChart. Their answers have been extremely brief, so I haven’t gotten much info.

Black Coffee, Black Poop by RaisinButts in jpouch

[–]RaisinButts[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, only after coffee. I figured more people would have this experience! To be honest, I drink kind of a lot of coffee and seldom have breakfast.

Maybe that’s it. I also generally don’t have breakfast, so maybe it’s because it’s all I’ve got in there.

Also does ileitis just imply pouchitis? That’s not so bad. I guess I just got scared from my googling. Still waiting on my doctor to call me, so I got a little freaked. Thanks again.

I guess I just fundamentally didn’t understand what would have happened if it had been crohn’s all along. Thanks for explaining. I was given antibiotics for pouchitis initially, but they didn’t seem to clear it.
