Health Update...

I have been having some health problems lately...and after alot of labwork...it has been discovered that I am probably on my way to being a diabetic..no, it's not the end of the world..just news I didn't want to hear I guess. My ob/gyn referred me to Dr. Gardine, an endocrinologist who deals with the thyroid,diabetes, and other issues I have. He was very nice and spent about a half hour explaining how we will try and reverse the progress of diabetes with rigorous diet, exercise (6 days a week???!!!!), and the lovely drug Glucophage aka Metformin. Since he is a Harvard grad...I guess I should trust him right? haha...well the Metformin has not been very nice to me lol...he told me it causes some GI discomfort the first two weeks...and since I have already had problems in that area...it is dealing me misery...but he said it should taper off...and the Metformin is only temporary...I go for a follow-up on January 6..and hopefully I stop taking it...I meet with the dietician on Tuesday to go over my meal plans (fun!!) and my
personal chef..err my husband haha...has offered to cook healthy for me..I have accepted that it has to be a lifestyle change...not just for 3 months...but I know it will be worth it in the long run!
