[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 859233, member: 21149"] Hi. Despite the NHS saying you don't need to test - you do. Get hold of a meter and check 2 hours after some meals to see what foods affect you and by how much. Plain Metformin often causes bowel problems during the first 2-3 weeks. Some find it continues. The Slow Release (SR) version is much better but costs more. If the problem doesn't clear ask the GP to change the prescription. [/QUOTE]
