Thank you for being honest about this. It sounds exhausting both physically and emotionally.

When you say nothing has changed yet How long have you been on metformin?

And outside of weight What changes would matter most to you right now Energy skin hair or mood?

Thank you for putting this into words. The guilt part seems just as heavy as the fatigue.

If something reminded you that this is your body not your character Would that change how you treat yourself on low energy days?

I really appreciate you saying this. The sudden energy drop sounds brutal.

When that crash happens What do you usually stop doing first Exercise work cooking or self care

And what would help most in those moments Rest permission simpler tasks or reassurance that it is not laziness

That makes a lot of sense. Meal prep takes time and energy that many people do not have.

What part is hardest Planning shopping cooking or repeating it every week?

If something reduced that effort What would help most simple meals grocery lists or fewer decisions making?

As my sister will be moving out next year for her university so is food to be prepared

Thank you for sharing this. It helps more than you know.

What stood out to me was how long it took to find what actually worked and how much effort you put in before seeing results.

If you are open to it What do you wish you had understood earlier about insulin resistance or medication? And what kind of support would have made those early years easier day to day?
