[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2693890, member: 506169"] Hi [USER=587533]@Pandemonium[/USER] and welcome to the forum. I am/was Type 2 (in remission for 4yrs). but 6 autoimmune diseases makes Type 1 seem a possibility. However, there are 2 specific tests for that, which are not usually done unless the medics feel it may be Type1. Metformin can cause digestive tract issues in some people, there are (kinder) Slow Release versions available if it remains a problem. If it isn't the Metformin making you feel awful but the high Blood Glucose levels, then it depends upon how long they take to get down. Metformin has no effect on the majority of Blood Glucose which comes from the digestion of the carbohydrates we eat. It works by discouraging the liver from dumping so much glucose into the blood, so the effect can be quite minimal in some people. As a predominantly lifestyle condition, Type 2 diabetes is easiest dealt with by cutting down on the consumption of carbohydrates. I have been in medicine free remission for 4yrs now using a low carb way of eating. Here is the blog post (by a member here) which put me on the right track: [URL]https://josekalsbeek.blogspot.com/2019/11/the-nutritional-thingy.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
