I've been taking Duetact since I was diagnosed with T2 in August 2011. Numbers had gotten stable, if a bit low. 75 before lunch (after a good breakfast) was a bit low, but I felt fine. I did not like the weight I was gaining, though. And that was causing the weight gain, my doctor stopped that medication about three weeks ago and suddenly my prosthesis was MUCH looser. No changes in diet. My numbers have been creeping up a bit, so she is starting me on Metformin tomorrow. I'll start it once a day, with my largest meal and after a week go to twice a day. I'm a little worried about the side effects...a run to the bathroom could be a close thing middle of the night if I have to stop and put my foot on first...does taking a fiber suppiment, especially at first, help with the side effects?
