My Dr. Diagnosed me with Being insulin resistant so that means my pancreas produces insulin my body does absorb all of. I have to admit I was kinda freaked out by this. The Dr. Said I need to take metformin and I have been reading that a therapeutic dose is 1500 mg daily. Also I need to eat a protein when I eat a carb. It is hard for me to wrap my head around this but I will cause it is the right thing to do.
