[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 385144, member: 21149"] Hi. Sorry to hear of your problems. The Metformin (Glucophage) if not marked as Glucophage SR will not be the slow release variety and are the likely cause of you bowel problems. I would say your GP is wrong to say the tablets aren't the cause unless he can prove they aren't. Do ask him to change you to the SR version if you are not on these. You may then be able to increase your dose with his agreement. You are doing the right thing by low-carbing. Do have low-GI carbs and small portion sizes. It's probably good to have some carbs with the fats and proteins so you get a wide range of nutrients, but keep them small. An HBa1C of 7.5 or below is acceptable if not ideal. My last HBa1c was 8.3 which was not good! [/QUOTE]
