i hope you all can help me.
i had gestational diabetes when i was pregant with my 2 1/2 year old it went away. in october early november i was diagnosed as having full blown diabetes( been borderline for years) i am taking metformin and glipizide. but recently i have noticed alot of changes and i am wondering if they are from the diabetes. I havent had a period in two almost three months went to obgyn says it is stress i have been way more stressed and never had a missed period. pregancy test is negative. i have also notices i have several really nasty looking bruises and have recently had a hard time with my knees slipping.
i am on meds for arthiritis, depression, birth control, and acid reflux. but have never had the problems i have now.
any suggestions are appreciated i am really worried..
btw my glucose numbers have always been under 200 so i dont feel that it is out of control.
thanks to all

Hi Christina and welcome to the board!
I am 34 on the 26th of this month...i have been on and off birth control for years but this one is a new one i started after my baby was 6 weeks old she is now 2 1/2 years old it is supposed to be low hormone because i get migraine from the hormones...and i had my blood testing done about 3 weeks ago.. but the bruising is recent like within this week and my knees are actually slipping out of place but not all the way i mean i have had knee problems before but usually when they are bad they go completely out this just seems to be painful and i guess you could say it is like the ligaments arent strong like they should be i hope that makes sense i will be talking to my doctor later today to see what she thinks unfortuanetly cant afford to go in for a visit right now
thanks again
