Question

Hey, so I found out I have PCOD on Sunday and I've been put on this tablet called glycomet. Im supposed to take it once daily after lunch. I've got a few things I'm worried about. First, will this tablet make me gain weight? Im already overweight and I dont want to add to it. Also, ever since I started taking it, I feel super bloated and not hungry at allis that normal? I have a feeling it might be because of the tablet. And does it cause heat in the body? My doctor told me to drink three tender coconuts and lots of buttermilk. Is there any specific food I should be avoiding while on this medication? Would love your input!

Question

I'm concerned about my mom's health since she has type 2 diabetes and high BP. I'm wondering if it's okay for her to have coconut water and buttermilk every day. She's currently taking Glycomet GP2 for her sugar levels and Listril for her blood pressure. Would these drinks affect her medications or condition in any way?

Question

Who is fixing the blood sugar level?

Question

My dad was recently diagnosed with diabetes and I came across something called IME 9. I'm wondering if it's meant just for type 2 diabetes or if anyone with diabetes can use it? Also, how do we get it? Any advice would be really appreciated.
