Struggling with High Blood Sugar and Insulin Resistance

For me, metformin and Ozempic were meds that I couldn’t tolerate. I was so sick that I had to stop them within 6 weeks of starting them. I just feel like I’ll never get my numbers below 150 consistently. I always inwardly chuckle when my dr says 90-130 is the range we are looking for. N then the dr increases the insulin dose again because my body is so resistant. 🥲

The metformin works well to control my sugars however the side effects are pretty harsh for me, so it's a catch 22 for some. I too am gaining weight and finding myself getting more and more depressed. I had major surgery 6 weeks ago and keeping my sugar down is a must as I'm already having issues healing. (Thank God for the wound vac!!) However, I can only take a few steps here and there with the walker, so the constant sitting with my leg up is also increasing my weight :( Some say the metformin helped them to lose weight, I wish that was the case with me! But it's def worth a try if you haven't already to help with your insulin resistance. :)

I’m also having this struggle. I have pcos so I was born with insulin resistance. I take 2 injectable’s daily but not decreasing. I hate to say that I can relate but I completely can. If you want to message me feel free. Maybe together we can find some solutions. It’s a horrible cycle our bodies are in.
