Which is why she was entirely blindside by what her doctor told her during what was supposed to be a routine checkup: Yet overall, this woman was trying her best to manage her blood sugar…

Sometimes Nancy would miss her doses too of metformin too, and her anxiety would skyrocket…

It was painful, messy, and it meant that Nancy couldn’t go anywhere without her electronic blood sugar monitor. Pricking herself between 4 to 10 times a day to get a drop of blood was just not a life she would wish on anyone… She HATED being on a constant schedule of needing to check her blood glucose level multiple times a day. Nancy felt so limited by what she could do in her life. Nancy has had Type II Diabetes for over a decade…Īnd doctors immediately put her on metformin, which has caused her all sorts of problems from nasty side effects like gastrointestinal issues, skin rashes, muscle weakness, dizziness, and weight gain.īetween the meds, and the fact that she needed to follow strict rules around her diet and physical activity… It’s about her 65-year-old diabetic mother Nancy and it’ll make your blood run cold.

I want to tell you about a story I heard recently from my friend.
