[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2128989, member: 401801"] So.... Your doc put you from metformin on [I]Sukkarto[/I]... Which is metformin by a different brand name. Same active ingredient. No wonder you're still in gastric distress, that was a pretty useless move! And I'm surprised you were put through a colonoscopy before they considered it might be the metformin. (I know how uncomfortable they are, alas). Metformin only does something about the glucose your liver dumps, usually in the morning. (Dawn Phenomenon). It doesn't do much of anything about what you eat during the day, so I don't think I'd worry so much about having to come off it. Just cut the carbs and use that meter (!!!). It's the most useful tool you'll ever get. Have a read here: [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/blog-entry/the-nutritional-thingy.2330/[/URL] , and don't get too hung up on the fats thing.... If you're alright with salmon, tuna, olives/olive oil,avocado and such, and don't go for lean meats, you're all good. You don't have to shove galons of butter down your throat if you don't want to.
