[QUOTE="Manxie, post: 182436, member: 32798"] Thank you Sue thats been very helpful I havent even had much info from my gp regarding the diabetes and its all been pretty scarey.I do have some insight as both my parents are diabetic but have very poor control due to their lifestyles and my mother has suffered as a result of her diabetes but we dnt talk much so they havent given me much info either. I have tried seeing another Gp Nigel they did help by doing the tests to rule out any super bugs etc.he was the same said he didnt think it would be the metformin -more likely a bug he said !! but gave me the slow release version on perscription to try there is one more doctor i can see who i intend to see once I have figured out if it really is the Metformin but Im very worried about starting the SR glucophage now after having all these problems I am sure I can stick to the diet I have done well and lost a few stone in weight but i think the diarrhea helped there !! but my portion sizes are much smaller.i eat much more veg and less fat.i cut down on bread too so i have changed quite a bit.i dont actually eat sugars or puddings for fear that it would make things worse.i was using sweetener but over the time i found i dont need it now as got used to less sweet tooth but i really do miss a bit of chocolate now n then : ( [/QUOTE]
