Re: Rico's ACTH normal now, insulin high
Hi Sherry,
I stopped the Metformin for a few reasons....one was that his insulin only came down from 56 to 48
two was that it was getting increasingly difficult to get the drug into him. He started out eating it in his mash for ten days, then eating it in mash with special additions, then not eating his mash at all and having to syringe it in am/pm.
three was that his demeanor became lethargic
and finally, I wanted to see what the Pergolide was doing on its own, so decided to stop the Metformin well before the blood draw on 11/29.
