Wed 12/5, appt with endocinologist & told me he wanted to put me back on gliclazide & metformin. Glicazide which was given to me prev during inpatient was 50mg & on that fateful evening, while I was sleeping, out of sudden, I was shaking with icy sensation inside my body. Whole bed was rocking so shaky that it shocked the other patients too. Luckily, my mother hvn't went back home that time. I couldn't even talk nor eat & drink. What a horrible experience.
No choice, since glipizide making me hungry. Advised to take gliclazide 30mg 1st, see how it goes before next week to start on metformin glucophage xr 500mg as am hvg diarhea.
Simiar experience side effects experienced last night, ended up couldn't sleep at all! Sharp tingling sensation on my feet & palm, breathing oso cold. Feet, palms icy cold even when covered with blanket, thats the shity part!! Also, I was feeling famished but that couldn't be the case as I ate cereals with milk before bedtime. BG reading is 12 & it's not hypo range.
This morning, I msged my DNE nurse mgr about it. Advised to stop the gliclazide & back on glipizide 1st. If need be, to contact my endocrinologist. I called but he didnt take call hence left msg via operator. Till now, yet to receive call from him. He oso knw he's in deep shit hor, told him I dun wish to have history repeat itself as it's affecting me badly at work.
Luckily, thurs 13/5 appt with Dr Lee, told her meanwhile to put on hold hvg me on mood stabilizer as am hvg new meds - gliclazde, metformin & sangobion.
Today, went see GP, told me becoz I didnt take nutritious & proper meals hence my iron level is low. Citing I should take more greeny veges & red meats but am taking all these, how could it be?
Sangobion had to be taken with fruits too in order for more absorbment.
