I have to admit that lately I've been letting my diet slide, not taking my metformin, and not doing a damn thing about it, I'd use the excuse that I've been ill off and on for the past two months, but that's not really an excuse, I'm responsible for my own health and well-being.
It can be hard sticking to the diets and taking the meds sometimes, at least it is for me, because here in the UK there's hardly anywhere, when you don't live in or near a city, to get foods which are low or no sugar, yeah I can get all the fresh fruit and vege from the farmers markets, but my RA makes it hard to be able to stand and prep then cook a healthy meal, and the support network is no good because it's all based too far away to travel to without ending up contorted into a mini pretzel on public transport.
I've also found that if I constantly take the dosage of metformin they want me to, I end up with so little energy that just getting out of bed is hard and it's already difficult enough with my RA getting in the way as it is...
