I know, but: Glumetza is specially designed to release the medication in the stomach, not in the intestines (as with other metformin products). This may decrease the intestinal-related side effects (such as diarrhea and gas). I guess it is worth trying, my friend didn't have any of the bad...

I accompanied my friend yesterday at her endocrinologist's visit. She couldn't tolerate Metformin and he switched her to Glumetza, an alternative to Metformin. She said this morning that she had not side effects at all, no upset stomach, no diarrhea etc. "Although other long-acting forms of...

http://www.lillydiabetes.com/documents/ ... de_eng.pdf I refer to this guide for my carbs intake, and so far it works very well for me.

According to Lilly's Daily Meal Planning Guide (that was given to me by the diabetes dietician), 1/2 cup of plain yams equals 15 gr of carbohydrates, in other words counts as 1 carbs serving.

One of the questions I asked the dietician was about fruits. I asked her if the ripeness of the fruit, any kind of fruit, would influence the level of sugar in my blood and she said yes, that it definitively would. Therefore, I try to eat fruits that are note quite ripe to limit the amount of...

Hello ! It is always comforting to see positive posts like yours. Me too I had a good experience when I saw the endocrinologist for the first time about two months ago, and I assure you that I was not happy to be told I was pre-diabetic. But my doctor explained to me it was not the end of the...

Hello LittleWolf! Yes amazingly we have the same height and weight! Can I just ignore the years between us? I just read your introduction, I don't know how I can help you because I don't have the answers. All this diabetes stuff is new to me and I do my best to try to understand. I too have to...

Hello everybody, I am new here, a little bit lost, and a little bit upset for having been diagnosed with prediabetes two months ago. I have accepted the fact however and I do all I can to fight the disease away. I am 73 years old, 5'2" (157,5 cm), 107 lbs (48,5 kg) and still fit. Because of my...

Well Ginagirl, I too thought my diet was excellent, I'm rather slim and still fit, but my body suddenly decided it needed a change, less carbs and more proteins, (the two make a wonderful combination, the proteins slow down the release of sugar in the blood), fresh fruits and vegetables. I check...

Hi! I too was diagnosed, but for pre-diabetes, two months ago. It was a real shock, because I have always been careful with what I eat and I thought I was not at risk at all. Well... things have changed. When I was diagnosed, I was very angry and at first I saw food as the enemy. Fortunately...

I am pre-diabetic but I watch my carbs very closely. My doctor said there was no need to order a diabetic diet for my next transatlantic cruise this month, there is plenty of healthy foods and it's up to me to make the right decisions. I was on a cruise back in November 2012 and I was unaware of...
