Hi all. Just started metformin 3 days ago and the diarrhoea is awful. Does anyone have any experience of this. I almost feel afraid to eat because of what will follow. Is this something that will go away? If so how long did it take for your body to get used to the drug?

Hello. Blood glucose this morning was 8.7 nothing unusual there for me. I’m always there or there about upon waking. This morning I had bacon and fried egg yet my bg 90 mins after eating is 9.7. I’m still fairly new at this but thought a breakfast containing little or no carbs would not cause an...

Tested 2 hrs after dinner last night and blood glucose was 7.8. This morning when testing before breakfast it was 8.3. How can the level increase when I've not eaten anything else in between. Could my monitor be faulty? At the moment I'm trying to control my type 2 by diet alone and am...

Does anyone do this to themselves. Only got diagnosed this week and much as it's on my mind to do this and sort myself out. I have so far eaten carbs, carbs and more carbs just can't seem to stop myself. Could I be in denial. I'm not a big meat eater could happily be vegetarian but without jkt...

Hi. I was told on Tuesday I am type 2. All the nurse said was cut carbs, join a diet club and watch the sugar intake. Then to come back in 3 months for another blood test. What's allowed in terms of carbs? Bought my own testing kit and I'm 9.8 4 hours after eating- guessing that's not good.
