This is the case: 35 -year -old woman, 1.70 high and 65 kg.No history of diabetes in the family.No recent operation/infection.No pregnancy.It does not follow any treatment, of any kind.Healthy lifestyle, Mediterranean diet, don't drink alcohol.It could be defined as a somewhat nervous person.
The result of an fasting analytics gives more than 200mg of blood glucose.Based on this measurement, and to another of similar results, performed with hair blood, the head doctor diagnoses as a diabetics and recipes metformin.
Two days later, he suffers hypoglycemia such that not even the glucometer gives it a value, "lo", (the test is repeated up to 3 times, with the same result).
She self -medicates, that is, you don't take the tablet at night and take two cocacolas.
The next morning its capillary blood value is normal.He decides not to take the metformin and, to see what happens.
At night, the value is normal.And the next day, too, and at the night of the next day, the same.
Comment with the doctor, this, supports the suspension of treatment, and decides to follow up.
The Mediterranean diet becomes even healthier, without having to change much;Fitangas are eliminated, the sugar of the two coffees of the day is changed to saccharin, the accompaniment potatoes are restricted and replaced by varied vegetables.You continue with pots, (but as for a flat plate), and still eating everything.Approximately 2-3 liters of water daily.
Every day 3 daily meals are made and at the same schedules.Half an hour of daily exercise at a strong rhythm.
Two weeks later, the positive glucose test, (218 mg at 2 hours).The Hemo goes out to 7.4.
Another two weeks later, the health center changes doctor.The new one insists on the patient to take half metformin pill, with the only argument, that, "is what the medical protocol marks, and we must follow it" .
I would be grateful in aooooormente that whoever could, answered me to these two questions.Especially at the first.
1. ,,,, If the glycometer values, day after day, pre and post-pandarial, are understood as normal according to medical parameters, still, you have to take metformin?, Do I have something to regulate?
I have only had a descent in my life, (the 2 days after starting treatment), or any climb, (this understanding this, from the follow -up they are doing to me).What do I do? Do I leave?
2. The fact that metformin says in the prospect, "it is rare that it causes hypoglycemia", does everyone refer to everyone in general, or from here you should remove those who still seem to work something the alpha cells, betaand Delta del Pancreas?
Greetings and thank you all for patience.
