Firstly congratulations on your results. Keep it up. If I had my time again, I would not go on Metformin. Even the slow release ones have caused me irreversible bowel problems. I'm now almost back on the straight and narrow after ditching the drugs, I was virtually house bound. I'm down from...

I wasnt too keen on the 24 hour fasting

I found one with no added sugar in the fridge section of Asda. Not where the milk is. Can't remember the brand off hand.

I found them a bit heavy going.

Yes I was going to put a link, but couldn't find it again. I've registered for the program.

I didn't get on with Metformin. I changed to slow release Metformin and there wasn't much improvement for me bowel wise. I was under the impression I had IBS. I stopped the SR Metformin a few months back. I'm now on diet and exercise and no other medication by my choice. My BG levels are...

If doc mentions diabetes I would just I have come about me knee today [emoji3] I've also seen a letter to GP about doing a low carb diet. Maybe you could print that out to take with you. Low carb is fully supported by diabetes.co.uk.

Do you eat good fats? Oily fish etc. I can't eat fish, as I can't digest it properly. So I've just started on flax oil capsules. Not sure yet if it's too early to see a difference. But maybe something you could look into.

I get a little confused over HbA1c figures. My last test in May was 71 mmol, which I equate to around 8.6. I stopped my medications in February because it was causing me serious bowel problems. I've been on low carb and exercise over the past few months. I had a repeat HbA1c last week. My...

Had my first protein roll yesterday. Plenty more in the freezer :) I didn't test before and after. Maybe I will test today. Did think it was delicious though :happy:

Constant diarrhoea does not help bowel habits.

I can't believe I am reading this. I had the exact same symptoms since being on Metformin for more than 7 years. Even the slow release Metformin didn't make much difference. I have had bowel investigations too. I thought I had IBS. I know I already had diverticular disease, which has worsened...

I have been on Metformin for around 7 years. It has always caused me stomach problems. Even the slow release Metformin was causing problems. So I've stopped taking it and my stomach is getting back to normal. But taking Metformin has caused me permanent problems. When I was taking Metformin...

Do you use a Nutribullet for juicing? I've toyed with the idea of buying one. But don't want the novelty to wear off and it be pushed to the back of the cupboard. They are not cheap.

Which would be better for a low carb diet? I'm trying to find a better alternative to rolled oats, fruit and semi skimmed cows milk for breakfast. I've been having milk shakes with crushed flax seed, a banana (or raspberries) and semi skimmed cows milk. I have a bowel condition so need the...

I have a Freestyle Lite and it reads in old values, 5.6, 6.7, 8.9 etc Do any meters read in percentages? HbA1c is now in percentages and it's getting confusing.

Update, since not taking Metformin I have had no more diarrhoea.

I'm actually considering going wheat free. But not too sure what to replace bread with, I don't eat much bread. I've already bought some gluten free wraps. I've given up Weetabix and Shredded wheat already. Im not a big meat eater and veggies aren't agreeing with me. It's a bit of a hard...
