[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 1751305, member: 401801"] After living in the loo for weeks I finally saw someone who said metformin obviously wasn't for me. At that point we didn't have the slow release kind in the Netherlands. Think it's available this year sometime tho. It was enough to make me decide I wanted to use as little drugs as possible. Gliclazide was okay, but still... So I read a lot, figured out what diabetes is and what could help... Ended up on a low carb diet that got me off the gliclazide, and the statins I was on. My HbA1c is now in the non-diabetic range at 38 and dropping. It's a big lifestyle change, and you feel crummy for a week as your body adjusts, but it's nothing compared to that metformin hell...! For now keep him hydrated, fluids, salt, the works. And have a read around here and se what might work for your husband. There's a whole section dedicated to succes stories; people going into remission through various methods. And as a spouse, you're as welcome as a type 1, 2 or other would be; any questions, just ask. These people here know what they're talking about. :) [/QUOTE]
