Welcome to Kim E. The Diabetes NP Channel!!! My name is Kim E. and I have a love and passion for prediabetes and Diabetes Mellitus Type 2. I went on a journey a while ago to build upon my knowledge of the disease and found it difficult to find concise and useful information. I realized at that moment that we, as nurse practitioners, needed a resource like this. As I began learning more about the disease and the new advances in education and management, I wanted to be apart of the solution for my fellow colleagues. If this is something that interests you, please come along with me as we grow in our knowledge of Diabetes to better serve our patients. Submit questions & video requests to info@ellisdiabetes.com.

@@TheDiabetesNP The video was concise hitting all the high points I needed to know in conjunction with the review I'm doing in my ATI book. While this is not targeted to undergraduate nursing students, the brevity of your videos (without being unnecessarily wordy) helps me retain the key points you discuss (things I may have forgotten during my chapter reads).

I am a type 2 diabetic who was prescribed Metformin a few years ago. The medication instantly caused me to experience severe nausea and joint pain. At one point, I literally vomited eight times in one night. Also, the pain in my feet, legs, and knees were so intense, I had a hard time walking normal. Unfortunately, my doctor had to completely omit this drug from my regimen. Has anyone else had a similar experience with Metformin?

Yes but my symptoms began well after I began the med, about 3 months into it. Then it nearly killed me, six 911 calls, 4. ER with severe abdominal pain and vomiting. I had all the diagnostic tests, lab work each time I had an attack, with follow ups for more tests, specialists, months and months of testing.. All within normal parameters, no gall stones, no liver or kidney problems etc. But I could barely eat anything, most everything I ate especially fatty foods would bring on the pain and projectile vomiting. Finally a smart University GI MD said he thought I had a rare adverse effect from the metformin involving my gallbladder. He took me off, no more symptoms, back to normal. High Risk Prediabetes, hypertension, not over weight.

My experience with metformin for over 25 years has been, no side effects, better blood sugar control and an A1C which is normal for a non-diabetic. I take 2X1000mgs daily and I'm now 78....and healthy. Metformin works great for me.....

Metformin is the first line medication. Understand that with any medication you take (even an over the counter med like aspirin or Tylenol), comes with side effects. For most people the medication does well but If by chance you have any questions or concerns about Metformin or she starts to have any issues, don’t hesitate to follow up with your doctor first!
