I just stopped taking them and then told the doctor that I'm not taking them anymore. They upset my stomach so much it was ridiculous. Doctor gave me something else instead.

I much prefer the products from lowcarbfoodco as well - find them much nicer

I use electrolytes and this has really helped and touch wood hardly any cramps now. Used to get them nearly every night.

I have stopped taking and gone low carb instead - feel much better in myself not having them and no problems with toilet issues either

Weight Watchers have just launched a new version of their diet. Fat is still high in points. Lean proteins like skinless chicken and turkey breast are now zero points, as are eggs, fat free nature yogurt, fish (not battered or in breadcrumbs) and some beans also in their natural state are also...

Why is marigold bouillon the recommended drink for salt? Is this better than bovril? Need to get back to low carbing but want to make sure I have everything in place first so that I dont get cramps at night. These are what stop me low carbing every time. I dont sleep well at the best of...

I have always drank a lot of fluids and if its a cold drink, has to be really cold for me. In fact first thing I do in the morning is have ice cold water. Its lovely, lol

Thanks

I take linagliptin with glucophage. Didnt realise until this morning that I have no linagliptin left. Will this be a problem? Thanks

I started on metformin but couldnt tolerate it. Was given glucophage slow release and had relatively few problems so there are definitely differences between the brands. Doc told me several of her patients can tolerate glucophage but not the metformin.

I couldnt get on with metformin, not even the slow release version. Doctor changed my prescription from generic metformin (which is the cheaper version) to Glucophage (branded). She said she had patients who could take this but not take metformin so I tried it for myself. So much better - no...

I take trajenta and glucophage (branded metformin) - I couldnt get on with metformin at all - made my stomach really bad. Doc said she has other patients who can take glucophage but not generic metformin so thought it was worth a go. No problems whatsoever. I dont know the answer to the...

Hi muzza3, my early morning reading today was 15.8 so lower than yesterday which is good. Still too high but hopefully it will keep falling day by day. Post breakfast 17.1 and then 15.8 before lunch. Had scrambled eggs with butter for breakfast and got tuna with 2bsp fat mayonnaise small...

Thanks for your help. Will carry on low carbing and hopefully they will gradually reduce. Will also up my testing as you suggest. I took the appointment next week because of the time as I work full time and not able to get there easily in the day and also I wanted to see a particular doctor...

I would see another doctor if I was you. I tried the metformin normal and also the slow release. None of them agreed with me so I just stopped taking them. Going to docs next week and I know she will be fine it. Started low carb diet again so hopefully that will bring my bg's down. The doc...

No and dont know why they have shot up, could be stress I guess as had a lot going on with the family. Am keen to get them down as soon as possible though.

Readings are quite high 18.6 pre breakfast and 19.2 two hours after. Not on medication, tried metformin, terrible and then metformin SR, better but still not good so stopped taking anything. Going back to docs next week - I know she wont have any problems with me doing low carb
