What happens now?!!?!
I, 41/F got diagnosed last yr as a type 2 diabetic and at first I was really good at checking my sugar twice a day and taking my meds but then I just stopped due to a few things happening in my life. So I hadn't taken it for probably 6m+ and I started to lose all my weight, now I don't eat regularly either. I was going like a whole month eating maybe a handful of chips or something and that was it which for the last month I have been trying to eat at least once a day like soup or a sandwich bc of my weight drop I can't eat much at one sitting but my appetite is definitely back. I was only maybe eating 2 meals a month if that. So between not taking my metformin and not properly eating, I went from 220lbs to 114lbs and my DR telling me that my BMI is only 18% and I'm now anorexic with a vitamin deficiency. My hair is falling out, my teeth are going bad. I started taking my metformin a week ago with a vitamin c supplement. So I guess my question is how long before I start to gain my weight back and my hair to stop falling out?? I understand that my teeth won't fix themselves but I'm jw if my weight and make will come back on it's own and possibly how long or do I have to have some kind of procedure? I also forgot to ask, since I'm only eating small portions once a day now should I add like a protein supplement or something to help me gain weight? I just don't want to be 220 again either...
EDIT - I'm not asking directly for medical life, I am simply wondering what people stops might be and what direction I should go and questions I should ask my doctor or if anyone who's been through the same thing as a diabetic.
