Metformin and alcohol

[Grazer]

am puzzled as to why this hangover problem only occurred after you had been diagnosed, most T2 are likely to have had diabetes for a significantly length of time before being found in a routine blood or urine test.

I think the point was that it was because he had started on Metformin, not because of the diabetes diagnosis.

Hello my name is Tam and yes that is Scottish and the usual stereotypical name for the drunk on casualty/holby city etc. I was diagnosed type 2 in 2005 and started on 4 metformin right away as although I tried a low carb diet my fasting blood glucose was around 12 to 15. I have always had a beer or whisky whenever I fancied while taking metformin with no ill effects. 18 months ago I was on four metformin, two gliclazide and one pioglitazone and weighed 130 kgms. After carefully monitoring my blood sugar to see which foods made my bg rise I cut out all the bad stuff which was very surprising. I am now completely drug free and weighing in at a tiny 95 kgms. My Hba1c's are 5.9 and my colestorol 3.6 I have achieved all this by simply avoiding GLUTEN. Try it
