I'm not really shock with this reveal, my family has a long history of diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease. It's a 'when' kind of diagnosis.
I went to my gynecologist to confirm my pcos situation, which was now sidelined because managing my diabetes t2 and cholesterol is now the priority.
The Internal Medicine doctor prescribed me with Metformin and Sitagliptin (with other cholesterol control meds).
I haven't started in anything yet because it's too much lifestyle change and I'm severely depressed so i can't find the will to take action. I guess this is my first step.
So my questions are,
1- Fasting, is it good cause the reviews were a bit 50/50. And how?
2- Diet, can i survive with having only salads for meals? I'm asian and everything seems starchy here.
3- Snacks, i get so hungry all the time whenever i limit my food. My stomach is literally complaining. How can prevent this?
- Meds, what if i missed a day or two? Is Metformin and Sitagliptin has a strict guideline on how to take it?
