Message: <blockquote data-quote="Laineybod" data-source="post: 2681190" data-attributes="member: 558269"><p>When I first was diagnosed I had a few weeks to try diet and then a second hba1c (went from 75 to 69 in about 3 1/2 weeks) so decided to try met. The first week or so was ok as was on 500mg a day then the early days of 1000mg but as it continued the side effects just got worse and worse so I stopped cold after about a month and a half. I had another hba1c the following month and I was down to 47. Three more months of just diet and it sat at 48. Then I went on to the yearly tests. My last one was 47 and after a really difficult year I was happy with that and getting back into trying more this year. So I did have a small jump, a kind of rebound but then things settled again. Didn't notice any real difference in BG when doing metre tests post meals either.</p></blockquote><p></p>
