[QUOTE="Finsky, post: 1147352, member: 269388"] I said 'I have one more post to come'...WELL..here it is then... Day 7 in whole wasn't that good. I went to work and it wasn't the best idea in the world :rolleyes: But I pushed through...went shopping..:rolleyes:, pushed through that too...and back home I retired on settee..I was not feeling great. But as stubborn as I am, I was damned if I were to give up in last hurdle. So when time came for first nibbles I had teeny bit..waited...had another teeny bit so on. Whole 6 hrs of 'teeny bits' and I was feeling gooood:D Then for some mad brain fog got me and I figured that as I am eating, I better take my metformin...??????!!!!!!o_O:rolleyes: So I did... Slept wonderfully all night..woke up, shifted myself into bathroom for morning clean up and all of the sudden world went black:eek: HYPO was my first thought..shuffled on my back side to downstairs as all my emergency supplies were downstairs:banghead: Took sugar 'tablet'...tested my blood sitting on floor and they were fine!?? And then tummy made mighty sound and I had to stagger back upstairs into bathroom...yep, I bet you guessed it..METFORMIN did it's nasty tricks..let say, at that point there was no food in my entire system anymore:rolleyes: Had some water and collapsed on bedroom floor for 1/2 hour nap. BOY it was scary attack..I've never fainted but this time it wasn't far off. So now I'm back to 'recovery' diet..this time even more careful as I've had tummy ache all day. On a good note..extra fluids have started drain out...yep...more trips to upstairs..and I've been on scales and so far they are showing 4kg loss over last 7 days. As I have to be very careful and not able to return normal eating for few days yet..I suspect little bit more will drop off. On a not so good note....that sugar 'tablet' cause real spike for my otherwise decent sugar levels..:rolleyes:..oh well, It will wear down, and I won't definitely take anything for it. So that is that...another chapter for the story and plenty of lessons learned :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
