your doctor starting you lower than the usual 2.5 might just be because of how insulin resistant you are, though im no doctor myself. patience really is key here. some people dont feel anything until they reach a much higher amount, but easing up slowly tends to work out better, it keeps side effects milder and helps you land on the lowest amount that still delivers results, which is always the better outcome. i know its exciting getting started and frustrating not seeing anything yet, but this kind of progress takes real time to show. youre still doing something genuinely good for your health either way. theres also a decent chance your a1c is already dropping quietly, you just cant see it yet. hopefully this approach keeps you from ever crossing into full diabetes.
