Have you checked the patient information leaflet?

If in doubt, take the medication into your local pharmacist and seek their professional opinion.

I also read the same online, but wasn't sure if the leaflet within the box would be different or not. Seems like what I read was a literal translation from a foreign language, which can be a little off putting.

Hope you get the information you need from your pharmacist:)
 
I've used it before when I had a stomach bug and it didn't appear to impact my blood sugar. Was super effective and I'd highly recommend it.

FAB thank you. I half wondered if it'd be GOOD for T1D, as it apparently absorbs harmful bugs in the gut - which I think there's been some research on.... Maybe it might help with allergies, in that case. Wishful thinking maybe. But I'll give it a go. Thank you for replying :-)
