Hi to all,

I had my A1c blood test about 2 weeks ago it has come back @t 7.4 as it was 9 last time so docs said keep doing what I am doing.

I have had a month of diarrhea tho so been put on ibs med and gone in the constipation direction cannot win(sorry about the discription)

Hopefully I will feel better soon.

That's an excellent improvement. What medication are you on? Some people find that metformin disagrees with their digestion but there is a slow release version which many people tolerate better...
 
Hello and welcome,

That is a great improvement to you HbA1C- I'm sorry it came at the expense of other symptoms. I agree with @EllieM that many seem to do better on the slow release version of Metformin- I was put on the slow release straight away so I do have to thank my doctor for that.

I hope you feel better soon.
 
Hi to all,

I am not on any diabetes med all I have done is cut out Carbs from the food I am eating so low carb/keto I feel better for doing this and have lost 8.8 kg but still have more to loose doctors said my body doesn't like meds hence the Diorhhea (sorry).

So I will see how I go from here.
