[QUOTE="GinjaGee, post: 1183484, member: 294016"] [FONT=Tahoma]I was diagnosed 8 weeks ago. I was put straight on 1500mg Metformin (started off with one at breakfast for a week then breakfast and lunch for the next week then 3 times a day with meals). Still wrapping my head around the new lifestyle changes that I need to make.:bigtears: I think I'm at the angry stage at the moment! :mad: Occasional explosive bouts of explosive diarrhoea caused by the Metformin don't help!:grumpy: I'm beginning to realise though that my "EE's" ("Explosive Episodes) may be linked to the amount of carbs I eat on or around the day that it happens. Still trying to figure it out. In the process of reducing carbs to see if it makes a difference. Lovely to see some positive posts regarding lifestyle changes and weight loss though. Gives me hope that I can control this Diabetes Beast!! ;) [/FONT] [/QUOTE]
