Hi. Newly diagnosed T2. This week. All my own fault. Now on low carb and 2000 Metformin a day. Did the devil him/herself make this drug?? I went up from 1 tab a day to the 4 I’m now on. Vomiting, nausea, diarrhoea, cramps ... and that’s without the mental trauma of getting to grips with it all!
Simple question - do we tend to get used to it or do I need to talk to my GP about slow release?
And a second question - my blood sugars are on the decline (still horribly high) - is that caused by the metformin or the cutbacks in the type of food I’m eating?
Thanks for the great service you all do - can’t put into words how it felt to find a gang with this much knowledge and support. Not as lonely as it felt at the beginning of the week!
