Why doesn't Metformin have any effect on Prednisone?!
Question:
Why doesn't Metformin have any effect on Prednisone?
Every morning, I wake up at 7 am with a "6" then I take 10 mg. of "P" with a glass of *unsweetened* soy milk and NO FOOD and my sugar goes to "10" until 3 pm when it *slowly* goes back to "6" by 5 pm. BTW, I did an experiment where I didn't eat from 7 am to 5 pm (3 days in a row) and that's how I know all this...
Anyway, I don't bother using "M" anymore in the morning because it has NO effect on my "P" induced sugar-spike. Why? Also: If I eat ANY significant amount of carbs within that 10 hrs. my sugar goes to 12 or higher even if I take "M" with my meal. So basically, within the first 10 hrs. of taking "P" I can only eat low-glycemic veggies & unsweetened soy milk in order to keep my sugar at "10". BUT after 10 hrs., I can eat high-glycemic foods and even a small dessert and my sugar stays within "8". Why? It's like I have diabetes from 7 am - 5 pm.
BTW: I've had Juv. Dermatomyositis for 33 yrs. and I'm dependant on prednisone.

There's a problem here if your drinking soy milk with your meds there's a good chance that it cuts the effectness of your meds. Also please avoid scams like the one above me the-diabetes-zone-dotcom. Drinking milk or even juice with your meds cuts their effectness in half it's almost like you didn't take the meds at all.
