I'm having extremely bad bowel movements that have got considerably worse as I have been diagnosed. Any thoughts
 
Yup, we need more detail. Sorry about that.

Same thing happened to me, briefly. It happened when I went on a low-carb diet (which appears to have saved my life, by the way). A common side effect is constipation, which I solved. But your post is so vague there's no way to tell what your issue is. Your problem could be the opposite of mine (i.e. diarreah).

Edited to add: Your post is tagged as "1.5 diabetes" (LADA diabetes) but your avatar lists you as Type 2. Very different, so it would help if you could clarify this. Thanks!

I would go to your gp and get your bowl problem checked out in case it's not due to your diabetes, especially as you're not on metformin.
