I was diagnosed in January and have been poodling along, eating mainly LC and just had a glowing set of HB1ac results back. Not sure of the exact numbers, won't get those until I see my doc next week.
My problem is that, despite being on metformin SR I have dreadful problems with my bowels. It is starting to affect my social life and work life as well.
I still have a fair bit of weight to lose and I hear that other anti-diabetic drugs have a risk of putting on weight. So, if possible, I would like to stay on the metformin.
Does anyone have any tips about keeping the metformin miseries at bay? Any foods it might be sensible to avoid?
Suggestions would be gratefully received
