They call me Doctor Love

[cyrano]

So the results of a blood test that I trust came back, and I talked to Doctor Lin. Triglycerides are uncomfortably high, and my fasting blood sugar was at 116. After I talked about the changes I'd made, and the lack of response I saw, she suggested (a) continuing with the changes (b) reducing the amount of white sugar/white flour/white rice I ate (c) starting a program of glucosage.

I thought she said glucosage, but either is quite possible. I should probably resolve that confusion before I finish my research.

I Googled "glucosage" and didn't get very far ;-)

Glucophage is nice because it doesn't just lower your blood sugar, it helps your body use it's insulin better.

I got more results there than I did looking for 'glucofage' which was my initial search. (: You've probably got the correct name, but I'm going to call WalGreen's anyway and verify.

I'd better know how to spell it, I've been on it for 6 years! :)

The brand name is Glucophage, the other name it Metformin. FWIW
