Shelley, I use the slow fe over the counter iron. It is time released and gentle on my stomach. My level was 17 so I hope I can get it up but have heard it can take a while. I will ask about the prescriptioin iron on my next doctors visit. It sounds like a better option with the vit c and only once a day.
I wish I could figure out a way to get my fasting BS down. 97 is almost to the prediabetic level. I feel like I eat a healthy diet now but am going to try and cut out more carbs. Does anyone know how many carbs I should eat per day?
I'm sorry you were diagnosed with metabloic syndrome and hope the metformin brings your numbers in line.
