So, with my last blood work results I decided to stop taking my diabetes oral medication that was prescribed for me 14 years ago (lowest dose, very mild diabetic according to them).
After 4 days off the med and constant blood sugar measurements (before and after stopping) plus reviewing my total 14 year history, I have decided I never should have been on it in the first place.
All my numbers are within normal range with only the baseline fasted number being just a little high like it was when they first put me on this crap. 14 years of living with side effects from a drug I never needed...pisses me off.
I can't blame the Docs totally since the science has changed a lot since then, I just should have realized it sooner and saved myself a few years of unwanted side effects for no gain. :BangHead:
