Hi Alliebee Thanks you for that . Yes reducing my readings by the day. Very impressed so far. No horrible side effects like Met.. Just need to tweak it now.. This morning 6.4 I know not low but low for me.. 2 hours post brecky 10.6? I think I now need to start thinking like a diabetic lol...

Thanks guys.. Not sure about lactic acidosis but will look it up? I've never really had anything explained other than reading leaflets..so I thought I would pop on here and I may learn a few things. I only socially drink and not that often because I usually drive but with Christmas coming up...

I take it that's the answer? Thanks

Met?? Are you not suppose to drink on Met? Sorry for sounding dumb lol

Hi Guys, Type 2 on 2x1000 SR metformin I've had a bad tum of late and can't face big meals. (Another story) I've read on the site low carb diet.. So try and stick to that if I can.. I'm struggling with snacks.. Some days I can't face a meal so tend to snack a lot to try and stay stable.. Rather...

So not before you had it removed.. I can understand it being yellow after you had it removed as you haven't got the bile to break it down but don't know why it's yellow before I've had it removed ? Sent from the Diabetes Forum App
