Message: <blockquote data-quote="Grant_Vicat" data-source="post: 2122069" data-attributes="member: 388932">The body effectively has four ways of trying to get rid of poisons as quickly as possible, All of them via a liquid route - sneezing,vomiting, urinating and diarrhoea. Even the blood system via the kidneys and via spots gets rid of poisons in its liquid way. I noticed as a Type 1 that sudden sharp rises in blood sugar would cause diarrhoea and a runny nose. Until I acquired a blood testing meter in 1979, I used to think it was usually a summer cold. When I was able to monitor reactions properly, I soon realised that blood sugar was the problem. Add the fact that many Type 2s say Metformin can have the same effect, you could put it down to just one or two of these options. If the weather is cooler tomorrow and nothing has changed, it would be worth investigating. Good luck!</blockquote>
