My Endo suggested OTC meds, which help cut it down from every darn day to every other day.  When I stop using it, and stay virtually zero carbs for 3-4 days, things get better, but then I start losing weight.  He put me on it in the first place to stop my weight loss, and hopefully gain some back.  I had a colonoscopy, everything was fine there.  (Little side bar about the Colonoscopy, after it was done they want you to eat something to make sure you are holding food down I guess before you go home.  The nurse said &quot;Oh, you are diabetic, let me get you a blueberry muffin and some orange juice&quot;..makes you wonder about the training of some medical professionals.)<br \/>\nSo after a long winded start, question one, anyone else have issues with insulin and diarrhea?<br \/>\nQuestion 2, anyone ever have the chance to compare lab A1c tests with the Bayer home test system?  I used the Bayer tonight, results were 5.5, my last lab test was 5 months ago at 5.6.  Nothing really has changed as far as any issues with my BG since, so I think it might be fairly accurate.  I did have the flu for a week at the end of November, boy talk about raising the dickens with my BG for a few days.<br \/>\nBest to all,<br \/>\nDavid<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First, after much experimenting, I have concluded that my Insulin (humalog, apidra, novolog) tried all 3, gives me diarrhea.
