[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2401708, member: 401801"] Metformin can cause explosive 'rhea, so if that doesn't abate after 2 weeks, it's not going to. You might want to ask for a slow release version, or go the diet route instead, which is what a lot of people have done here. It's not about whether or not you eat rubbish, it's about how many carbs are in there.... Rice, weetabix, toast etc contain a lot of carbs, and your body can't handle those. [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/blog-entry/the-nutritional-thingy.2330/[/URL] might help a little, as well as dietdoctor.com (no need to pay, lots on there is free), so you can still cook from scratch without loading up on things that make your blood sugars rise. Also, low fat isn't the best thing for diabetics, as when they take the fats out, they usually put carbs in to compensate for the loss of flavour and bulk. Carbs up blood glucose, but fats are a sugar flatline. Hit the full fat cheeses. ;) [/QUOTE]
