My A1C Hit 8.2 at Age 59. My Father's A1C Hit 8.1 at Age 57. His Doctor Started Metformin. He Died at 68 on Dialysis. Yesterday, My Doctor Pulled Out Her Prescription Pad. At 3:47 AM I Sat at My Kitchen Table Googling "Metformin Side Effects Lactic Acidosis" While My Unfilled Prescription Mocked Me From the Counter. My father died at 68. I'm 59. Three weeks ago, my doctor closed the exam room door

Shitting my brains out from Metformin the entire time. I exerci

I Refused Metformin for 3 Years. Here's What Happened to My Blood Sugar. I've been a nurse for 38 years, and high blood sugar is one of the hardest things I see patients struggle with. The afternoon crashes. The brain fog. The desperate thirst that never stops. I've had patients tell me they're up 3 or 4 times every night running to the bathroom. Day and night, it never stops.

I Refused Dialysis Prep at Stage 3 Kidney Disease. My Nephrologist Said I Was Playing Russian Roulette With My Life. Here's What Happened Instead.
