Joined an unwelcome but not unexpected club this week

Been on Metformin for four years. Started with 500mg, get labs then after 90 days the doc upped my dosage. Now on 2000 mg daily which is max dose. I see the doc every 90 days where she keeps a close look of liver and kidney function. My problem is myA1C jumps up and down. Been as low as 6.5 and as high as 8.5. 6 months ago she introduced me to Trulicity, cut the Metformin back to 1000mg. That’s when I started jumping up and down.

I’m seeing a Diabetic doc tomorrow. I’m thinking the change to Trulicity caused the problem. I was tolerating Metformin pretty good so if she jumps me backup to 2000mg won’t be a big deal.

As an FYI a year ago I was taking Victoza. That really worked however Medicare became a problem. Wouldn’t approve Victoza.
