[QUOTE="DavidGrahamJones, post: 1567858, member: 245335"] Apologies, somehow I missed the previous comments. In which case I'd suggest that Metformin is giving you the runs not the LC diet. If you do give low carb another go which I think would be worth trying, be very careful of your BG. I was taking Gliclazide before I went low carb and my BG plummeted and I was able to stop taking Gliclazide and Januvia as my BG stayed low. Statins also went out the window after my first test for cholesterol. I also found that just by cutting out potatoes, rice, pasta and bread I cut my carbs intake down to 40gms a day which worked for me. I later had a c-peptide test which showed that my pancreas was doing OK and my problems were down to insulin resistance. Less carbs also helped with the side effects of Metformin. Nowhere near as severe as previously. [/QUOTE]
