Lotus, My current weight is hoovering around 215, my goal is to be under 180. I am doing a low carb diet with periodic fasting. I have to add more exercise than I am doing now, but my plans are to add primarily CardioVascular exercise like a treadmil with mimimal workouts with the weight machines. As for my diet, I am eating only one meal a day after 6:00 PM and no food after midnight. I do drink coffee and tea during the day.
MY medications are as follows Metformin 500mg, Fenofibrate 160mg, Atorvastatin 20 MG, Tamsolosin HCK .4 mg, Lorsartan Potassium 100 mg and Vitamin D3. I do have a regular family practice doctor, and no, I have not spoken to him about this. I think if I were going to talk to a doctor on this topic, I would want to find one to adress just this part of my care I can understand the need to keep some items like the liver in check. I have been told that I have fatty liver and my while my liver enzymes are in normal status and are checked annually they are not necessarily checked on each 4 month visit for my diabetes.
I have not seen any impacts to date for PM. But I have not been on it long, less than 2 months total. Please do not feel you need to apologize for asking questions, after all, I am the one who asked for your help with this. I find myself torn between just tossing the PM and SP into the waste basket and forgetting this process entirely and moving to the Bioidentical creams and seeing what happens. I really want to see my grandchildren graduate HS and collenge. LOL
