Diabetes: Diabetes is a chronic disease. Congratulations on making dietary modifications. It sounds like you are having difficulty with the medication regimen. Discuss with your diabetes team. There are fortunately many medications available and a different med approach that doesn't cause nonstop diarrhea is needed.
