[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 155900, member: 18023"] Similar to me as far as BG goes, though my A1C was 5.8 one time. But I eat a lot of carbs, so reducing my carbs really lowered my BG. Losing 20 lbs probably helped as well. Metformin causes me no problems, but with or without it I can control my BG. And by no means do I eat low carb, just not binging on popcorn / pretzels, yogurt covered raisins, pizza and beer was enough to lower my BG. I used to consider popcorn a meal, eating a 16 quart bowl and going through 50lbs of popcorn in 3 months. I think you are right, even if you don't cut up the Met Er you will get diarrhea, but it's worth a try to see. People do report that ER gives them less problems. Here is another thing I didn't know. Even after several years of taking metformin with no problems, you can develop serious diarrhea as a result of taking it. I don't know your diet or weight, if you can reduce your carbs or lose weight it will help lower BG a lot. Many people go on low / lower carbs and get a good drop in BG. [/QUOTE]
