[QUOTE="Avocado Sevenfold, post: 1474330"] I hope someone clever can comment on this line, "My Metformin was increased to 750 mg 2/day after this last attack and I was told that you need that minimum dose for it to be effective and so as to avoid burning out the pancreas over time." I was led to believe that metformin worked on the liver and not the pancreas :confused: You have a lot going on there. My advice would be to make a list of all the foods you can tolerate and design your own way of eating with the assistance of your blood glucose monitor. What works for one person may not work for you. For what it's worth, my diabetes control improved significantly when I gave up dairy, but your experience may differ. All the best :) [/QUOTE]
