Metformin side effects in the treatment of PCOS.
Due to your insulin resistance now let now before i’m gonna go into the side effects of metformin let me know in the comments are and also make sure that you like this video and subscribe to my channel because i do a lot of videos in similar subjects so let’s go through medforming if you haven’t seen my video about five
Natural alternatives to matt farming make sure you check that playlist and check the playlist about resistance and how to reverse it naturally and you decided to still go with metformin these are the side effects that you might want to take under consideration maybe expect so you can act quickly in case they appear
So there are a few serious side effects that i’m going to talk about before i go to the most common ones so first one is lactic acidosis lactic acidosis is connected very often to too low blood sugars if you correct me if i’m wrong and when you have um actually too much ketones in your body uh that ends up being
Toxic so the first very serious symptom is lactic acidosis um that also is very common for people taking insulin when they are diabetic for example i don’t want to go to technical details because i’m afraid that i’m going to say something wrong um you you know it can be fatal so you definitely have to go to emergency room
Uh in that case uh so this is basically what if the medication is gonna work too strong and lower your insulin and your blood sugar levels too low and that is creating all different balance imbalance in the body is actually causing b12 vitamin deficiency with that even even if you are a meat eater anemic
Because cause anemia and an array of thing is hypoglycemia so it’s very very low blood sugar level um and it can cause weakness as well now let me go back to lactic acidosis and tell you the symptoms associated with that so if you ever have something like extreme tiredness weakness breathing dizziness lightheadedness a
Fast flushing or sudden reddening and worth warmth of your skin or stomach pain with any of those other symptoms this is something to definitely um take into something much more serious now if you have anemia it’s again lightheadedness dizziness tiredness and so on and so forth and hypoglycemic if you
Combine metformin with with excessive um alcohol intake with excessive exercise a poor diet and other pre-diabetic or diabetic medication because hypoglycemia happens when we lower our blood sugars and our insulin levels too low what i noticed in most pcos forums and the little lists that i that i created um the most
Of the diarrhea constipation a little bit more rare but diarrhea was something that people reported the most and all sorts of stomach cramping connected to that maybe nausea and stuff like that and um if you’re gonna do a little bit research you will see that many women actually real women that’s why i like
Following these forms say that it’s very very important never to take it on an empty stomach and combine it with specific meals so make sure that you actually maybe subscribe to some of those groups i’m not affiliated with source of you know community information and many women usually have nausea and diarrhea
But metformin can cause all of those problems medications calls as well because our blood sugar levels are very very important and they influence our whole energy metabolism in our body so i am always a proponent of natural medication instead and for example supplements like berberine actually in some of the scientific
Studies forming with much less side effects so make sure that you see five natural alternatives to metaforming let me know if you want me to make for example inositol and stuff like that that might actually help you level your insulin levels and check my insulin resistance playlist and let me know in the
