Welcome from E Global Natural Health...I am so glad you could join me today!
My name is Rachel and I am one of the lead researchers here at Vital Life Lab, our in-house
research lab at our company.
I hope you are having a wonderful day and I want to commend you on making the decision
to take control of your health. Simply being here watching this video right now shows me
you are serious about taking the first steps to addressing high blood sugar problems.
Recently, we have had many inquiries about the drug Metformin and its side effects. Today
I would like to talk to you about the things you need to consider if you are taking it
or thinking about it.
Have you ever stopped and asked yourself why would someone recommend a medication that
would potentially harm you? Some diabetes experts report that when it comes to prescribing
initial therapy for Type 2 diabetics, some doctors tend to follow a "treatment of laziness".
For example, prescribing drugs if they perceive difficulties in the patient's ability to change
dietary habits or lifestyle.
Oral pills should be used in Type 2 diabetes only when diet, supplements and exercise are
not effective. But in our opinion they are prescribed far too quickly, especially considering
the potentially long term harmful side effects...but more on that in a moment.
The bottom line is you need to take control of your health and make decisions that are
best for you. We put together this short video in hope it will answer all your concerns regarding
Metformin.
So what exactly is Metformin? It is also known by the trade names Fortamet, Glucophage, Glucophage
XR, Glumetza and Riomet. It is an oral diabetes medicine
that helps control blood sugar levels.
Metformin is for people with type 2, or non-insulin dependent, diabetes.
The most common question we are asked is if Metformin is really bad for you?
I will let you make the decision after you hear the possible side effects. By the way,
if you experience any of these side effects you should report it immediately to your prescriber
or health care professional as soon as possible:
Taking Metformin can cause vitamin B12 deficiency contributing to Neuropathy. As you may know
neuropathy symptoms include loss of feeling in the hands, fingers, feet, or toes. Numbness
or tingling in your hands or feet or general soreness and fatigue in your joint areas.
It can cause lactic acidosis. This is when lactic acid builds up in the blood
stream faster than it can be removed. Some symptoms of lactic acidosis include weakness,
increased sleepiness, slow heart rate, cold feeling, muscle pain, shortness of breath,
stomach pain, feeling light-headed, and fainting.
Another possible side effect is that it can cause anemia. Anemia is a condition where
there is a lower than normal number of red blood cells in the blood, usually measured
by a decrease in the amount of hemoglobin.
Here are some other common side effects that usually do not require medical
attention although you should report to your prescriber or health care professional if
they continue or are bothersome:
- decreased appetite - gas
- heartburn - metallic taste in the mouth
- mild stomachache - nausea/vomiting
- weight loss - rash
- diarrhea - flatulence
- asthenia - indigestion
- abdominal discomfort
In combination with other diabetic medications like acarbose, glyburide, glipizide, miglitol,
or insulin, Metformin may cause low blood sugar also known as hypoglycemia. Some common
symptoms of low blood sugar include anxiety or nervousness, confusion, difficulty concentrating,
hunger, pale skin, nausea, fatigue, sweating, headache, palpitations, numbness of the mouth,
tingling in the fingers, tremors, muscle weakness, blurred vision,
cold sensations, uncontrolled yawning, irritability, rapid heartbeat, shallow breathing, and loss
of consciousness.
Wow! That is quite the list of side effects from Metformin!
The great news is that you can avoid all of these nasty side effects by taking action
regarding your health. This means finding out for yourself what you need to be doing
to regulate your blood sugar. As I said before, watching this video today is a great step
in that direction! Educating yourself is key, especially when it comes to avoiding potentially
harmful prescription drugs and utilizing natural ingredients to get your blood sugar under
control.
