Medicine Discipline

So I am supposed to be taking medicine on a daily basis. I haven't taken them for a while now. Why? I don't want to take pills on a daily basis, it's annoying. One pill leads into more pills to counteract the side effects of the pills so eventually you wind up taking 30+ pills in the morning & another 20+ before bed, like my parents. But I understand if left untreated, things could get worse & I will really need the pills.

So what am I taking & for what? Good question... I don't even know where the pills are :) Well the big one is Metformin. I have diabetes. It runs in my family. I've had Insulin Resistance for as long as I can remember & it was always something to watch out for. Well the meter tipped in the wrong direction but I am teetering on the edge. It is reversible. Good news! Even more reason to take my medicine. There is a terrible side effect to my medicine that made it really unbearable to continue - very loose stool. My stomach would do flips within 30 minutes of taking the Metformin. I recently found out that if you take Cinnamon capsules with the Metformin, the bathroom effect is improved substantially, but that is yet another pill to take.

I need to take Metformin twice a day, or once a day (but that is four pills instead of two). I will start taking them tomorrow (or well today now). I will find out the other medicine I am taking as well. There is two more.
