[QUOTE="jjraak, post: 1936243, member: 493719"] hi chris. have to agree shopping does get more difficult, particularly early on when you just don't know WHAT to buy or look out for, I have to be honest and say i'm not that experienced in the ways of the meters/measures, so if you don't mind i'll leave that to others more qualified. As to that 'am i sick' question..personally i say yes. that's why it's important to be diagnosed and THEN to take some actions. The actions you take will impact on your health now and in the long term, that's why i was so grateful to arrive at this site. I've read others stories, i seen the testaments from members of their own journeys back towards better health, and i've taken the opportunities given to read up on some facts i was not aware of re diabetes and food. That is the jewel of the crown here, that chance to make your own decisions based on the facts and stories of real people that i and possibly you can relate to. Those first weeks were ever so gloomy, but now i've made those first steps, life's not so bad, my health and mood has improved dramatically from where i was when diabetes was first mentioned by the doctors.. Metformin can produce wind and diarrhea... as far as i know, but so far any issues for me have been pretty minor, but we all react differently to medication. Hope you find the same help and comfort from the forum as i did. [/QUOTE]
