I have been taking metformin (Glucophage) for a year to help control my weight. A year ago when I started it my fasting blood sugar was a little low so my doctor was cautious about using it.

I had fasting blood sugar done a few weeks ago and it was high even with the metformin. Not so high that we're panicking but high enough to earn a diagnosis that means pre-diabetes and more labs in a few months. I was already dieting on a basically diabetic diet so I just have to keep that up and increase my exercise and I'll have done all I can do.

I'm trying to stay calm until the next labs since I'm definitely doing my best. but I'm scared. Lethal diabetes runs on both sides of my family and all 3 of my father's brothers died of it. I was high risk and monitored for it before bipolar or I ever touched an AP and I'm at the age where my family is diagnosed.

What happened when you were diagnosed? Did they stop the AP? Were they willing to work with you?
