[QUOTE="graj0, post: 888559"] Another good reason for me cutting out the obvious carbs. I'm still quite angry that when I was getting really severe diarrhea so bad that I didn't want to leave the house, my GP at the time was telling me not to cut my carb intake under any circumstances. Because he didn't accept that Metformin was the problem I underwent all sorts of tests like Barium enemas to see if I had something nasty. Blooming waste of NHS money, I knew it was the Metformin causing the problem, the problem started when I started taking Metformin, only they said it would just take a couple of weeks to settle down. Now I realise that the lower my carb intake, the less of a problem Metformin is. With you 100% on cooking different meals, fortunately I just cut out the pasta/rice/spud/bread bit without too much trouble and have some extra veg. There again, I only have one other person to cook for. [/QUOTE]
