Dr bumped me to 1000mg twice a day. Made me very sick to the point of calling into work for extreme diarrhea. Stopped taking it and contacted my Dr. He put me on 5mg twice a day. While it has helped my numbers, they vary constantly and aren't where they should be. Anyone have any advice for me? I am on a 1200 calorie, low-carb diet. Please help. I am too young to suffer like this.
