Or get caught up in the crossfire where Metformin makes you shit your pants and a new drug for managing your A1C comes out (ozempic) which doesn’t make you shit your pants. Only for a few years later get denied insurance coverage for it because you obviously are using it to lose weight.

In theory once you stay at a dosage of metformin for long enough the unfortunate side effects go away. In practice it's been a year and I still can't trust a fart.

You guys trust your farts? I always presume each oncoming fart is a world ending disaster.

I got denied coverage because I don’t have type 2 diabetes. My main doctor confirmed I’m pre-pre-diabetic.

Or I was.

I pay for the medication myself and the diet they have me on is literally called the Insulin Resistance Diet.

Not only have I lost just over 30 pounds in 90 days but I’m also clearly healthier just because of this diet. (At my height and weight 30 pounds isn’t shit, but I’m only just getting started.)

Proud of you random internet stranger! Keep up the good work! It’s going to be super duper worth it!
