[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1762748, member: 41816"] Absolutely! I become strangely less keen to hunt out, cut and paste references when I am accessing the forum from my bed, using my mobile phone's small screen. Such are the limitations of technology. :D However, since it is now morning, and I am back at my desk, I have spent a whole 10 seconds typing 'Metformin too many carbs' into Google. Top of the list is this one: [URL]https://www.diabetesdaily.com/forum/type-2-diabetes/37241-metformin-carbs/[/URL] where the first few posts on the thread demonstrate a whole range of different reactions to Metformin and carbs, including people saying that they find it necessary to keep carbs low, to avoid intestinal upset. Then further down: [URL]https://thefastdiet.co.uk/forums/topic/metformin-and-52/[/URL] where post #11 states [I]20 May 16 I spoke to my endocrinologist about this and she said: 1. Metformin is not the kind of drug where you have to take the same dosage every day. So one could skip their metformin on fast days or lower the overall dosage everyday as a way of avoiding the symptoms i was experiencing (day after diarrhea). 2. Eating too many carbs causes the diarrhea when on metformin. I was shocked to hear that.[/I] And a specific search on DCUK yielded this: [URL='https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/metformin-and-carb-intake.33614/']Metformin and carb intake[/URL] I found this one particularly relevant since it is one of [USER=196898]@Oldvatr[/USER] 's own posts.
