    Type 2 Gut problems

    I understand that this could be unrelated to metformin and I’m not ruling it out hence I wanted to know if there’s anybody who has experienced this at some point. We all react differently to different things including medication. I’ll be going back to my GP this week as I have finished the...

    Type 2 Gut problems

    I’m Type 2 on metformin 500mg twice daily. I was diagnosed in December 2017 and I’ve been on metformin since then. Some time in April this year (2020) I had gut problems, I was passing loose stools with blood for about 2-3weeks, a stool sample was taken for testing and the results were all...

    Home HBa1c test kits - any good?

    Hey Sal260. Well done on your progress. You could try Thriva, it’s cheaper than the home testing kit and the testing is done in the lab.

    Type 2 Pain and numbness on my left arm

    For the past 3 days my left arm hurts so bad and it also goes numb sometimes. I’m on metformin I have been fairly good with my diet. My Hba1c was 36 in March but the cholesterol had gone up a bit to 5.2. Could this be related to diabetes? Waiting on doctor’s appointment. Anyone experienced this...
