I think the metformin will probably make a difference very quickly, Maria. It sucks that it's one more thing for you to deal with, though.
My back problem was also L5-S1, so if I can offer any useful information, let me know.
Cass, that's infuriating. I would just want to rest my head against a convenient wall and scream.
I was on a different medication than metaformin but it will help. I was on a constant card diet when I was pregnant. 30 carb breakfast, 15 carb snack, 45 carb lunch, 15 carb snack, 30 carb dinner, and another 30 carb snack. If you like nut butters, the unsweetened kind makes for a quick snack with fruit or crackers.
Just took my first blood sugar reading, because I didn't get my kit or meds until 4 this afternoon. With no meds and a fig and prosciutto sandwich with a side salad for lunch, my sugar was 127 15 minutes ago.
Now I'm having a slice of quiche for dinner (have to deal with what I have on hand right now). We'll see what my sugar looks like in the morning.
Sorry for the spam. I can't put this on FB, and I need an outlet.
This isn't spam, Maria. We're here for you.

I grabbed a dry lavender soda, spiked it and am just crying. I so wanted to at least let Mom's stuff have another life. Barring the valuables, I can let mine go. But knowing I am seriously just trashing everything now after carefully but quickly going through it is wrecking me.
The worst if that I only want to talk to her. She'd probably say to let most of it go, mourn and little and move on. But I need to hear it from her because I don't believe it myself. I don't even think I have the box of things for Buffistas who knew her.
{{{{{Cass}}}}} I'm so sorry. That's just terrible.
I'm sorry, Cass. Everything takes on more meaning when the person it belonged to is no longer with us.
I'm so sorry, Cass. And, Maria that's a lot to deal with right now.
I'm sorry, Cass. That's too much.
I hope that the meds and diet adjustment helps you feel better, Maria.
it was just a very basic chicken salad but with leftover duck shredded instead of chicken. Today's was just mayo and relish because I didn't want to do any chopping.
I think I have a duck breast in the freezer. I should try this, maybe over the weekend. Thanks!
