I have been on metformin for 11 years.


The easiest way that I have found when making major diet changes ( when we took dairy, soy and gluten out) has been to not try to use replacements for a year but simply find food that doesn't include what ever we are ovoiding.


So I love cauliflower rice, and chickpea pasta but I wouldn't suggest you try either of thoes right away.

Are there meals that you already like that fit in to your new diet? Can you start by having thoes frequently?

As for the metformin, I am supposed to take One tablet twice a day. I been taking one tablet once a day. I was wondering how long I need to taper it so I bet I just need to wait a little longer.

As for meals I make a lot of food from scratch but I like comfort foods so we live in Idaho. I eat a lot of potato’s so honestly that would be the hardest to cut out completely. I love Brussels sprouts and so I been eating a bag full at a time. I also been making more vegggies. I like them but I just forget to make them or get lazy. I like salads and soups. I typically make homemade bread with my soups. I can make my wheat bread it has no sugar in it. Just honey and it’s higher in fiber.

Usually, if someone decides just to cut out soda and rice, it's really hard. But if you decide you'll have sparkling water or iced tea instead of soda and green beans instead of rice, you'll be better prepared. Make sure you keep your kitchen stocked with the alternatives. Treat yourself to strawberries or something healthy that you enjoy. Some people find that stevia increases cravings for sweets. Personally, it makes me feel really weird. Just keep an eye out with stevia.

Are you able to exercise? Regular exercise is a great way to keep blood sugar more stable.

A good 8 hours of sleep is really important, too.
Thanks I didn’t know that about Stevia but I really only sprinkle it on my cereal for now. I haven’t tried baking with it yet. I am looking into Monk Juice? Someone told me about that today.

Exercise yes I am able too but do I want too lol . I have a hip issue so walking too long makes it hurt. I am thinking of starting to walk more now that its cooled off or go to the gym or something. I am trying to see how to fit this into my life more for sure.
