I seriously can't stop eating!!
I'm on the max dose of metformin (1000mg twice a day), the max dose of Ozempic (2mg weekly) and I even take Adderall for ADHD. Somehow, I still have an appetite and it seems like all I can think about is food and the next time I'm going to eat.
Whenever I hit a "low" (not a literal low, but my lowest blood sugar reading for me, usually between 80-90 mg/dL), I tend to eat a lot and then I shoot up to over 200mg/dL.
I have PCOS and metabolic syndrome so I know I need to eat low-carb and be more thoughtful of my consumption habits in order to lose weight, but I just can't stop myself from grabbing the closest carb when I feel like I'm starving!
When I initially started the metformin and Ozempic I was really diligent about my diet and working out and I went from 246 to 198 pounds. Recently, my appetite has burst through the meds and I've gained 10, pounds back.
My A1C at diagnosis was 10.1, I got it down to 6.8, then to 6.0, and now it's back up to 6.6.
I guess I'm just looking for empathy and advice. Thanks y'all.
