I think it is the metformin again. I took this years ago and got sick on it. This new version is designed to minimize its GI blast effects but seems it is getting me anyway! I found a PubMed article that says metformin stimulates the gall bladder, and I've had issues with it before too. So I think it is a double whammy.

I stopped the metformin 2 days ago and my morning sugar was 113 today!

I guess if it goes up again I will have to do a basal insulin now.
(I am allergic to sulfas...which most of the drugs are based in sulfa).

I am feeling better today, but gads! it was an awful 4 days.
