My blood sugar was very low and I was on keto diet . I could have been in lactic acidosis. I stopped keto altogether and reduced metformin to one daily . I might increase it if I can handle it with no more UTIs . I did drink lots of water though .

Hi, I’m feeling the same .Did u get better?

Hi, Anyone has seen any kidney related side effects with metformin ? Or more UTIs or flank pain ? I’m on twice daily ( 500 mg). I think it gave me UTI. Best

Good point. No I have not this time. I have a strong history of E. coli infection and I have the exact symptoms-each time . I was off it for 2 yrs though . I think many diabetes medicine can cause UTIs but maybe more in ppl who are more prone to it or have other health conditions . There...

I have some UTI home kit tests . Maybe I test tomorrow. I am often too worried about my kidney that I scare to do tests

Yes metformin but only past few days !

I agree with the fact that knowledge is power . Well said. Since I was diagnosed , I spend many hours a day going through all the papers I could find on Google Scholar ( based on their citation and yr of publication ) and gather as much info as I can . There is a lot of scientific papers on...

Thanks ! Your support means a lot to me <3 I think I might have been super hard on myself . The morning after my sudden diagnosis ( out of no where and terrible shock ), I started a strict keto diet and exercise. And then a week later , I went on metformin ( high dose for my Moderately high BG)...

Keto diet lowers my blood sugar from 153 to 71 ( diabetic 2 , no insulin ). That is good but After 10 days of keto , I have a UTI , my kidney hurts , constant nausea, blood sugar drops to 60 , dizzy , confused , shaking , shivering , blurred vision and confusion. So this evening, my...

Thanks . I have never cooked in my whole life . Well only once and my ex bf got poisoned ( that is not why he is an ex) . My bf makes omelet for breakfast . He can also make very good pasta but I cannot eat pasta . I have always eaten out but very healthy and fresh ( no junk food and mostly...

Interesting [emoji848]! Imagine a magical low carb scone , with butter and sugar free blueberry jam . I think now the bottleneck here is the low carb scone ! Is there anything that can replace flour safely ? All I think about is food I never ate large quantities but I was such a foodie...

Thanks HSSS. I have a Dexcom G6 so I know my BG real time . I will check with my doc if I can reduce my meds. I wish I could eat more fat but my HDL, cholesterol and lipid is also high ( have family history too). So cannot eat fat , cannot eat carb , cannot eat sugar Nothing left but...

Now my plan is to stick to my diet and exercise and see if I can keep my BG in control

Good news . My anti bodies were negative [emoji3]

I use a Dexcom G6 , so I don’t know which data point to pick up. It must have been between 4.4 to 5 .

Thanks , still waiting for the results I’m taking 500 mg metformin, twice a day . My blood sugar is mostly around 80 , except after meal that can go up to 90 or at times at most 100 after a big keto dinner ( tonight I had some blueberries in my salad , plus mushroom , walnuts , cucumber...

I of course find the food part hard , but I can handle my new diet since I feel I can still find things I enjoy to eat . What I hate most and what hurts me most is the uncertainty, how long I will be insulin free , how hard it is , what if I loose my job and so my insurance ( I’m from US so no...

Thanks walking girl and everyone . I just started using my Dexcom G6 . Walking girl , 0.9 is BG/ml but my FBG at the same time was 71. Very low .
