Vacationing on Metformin

Has anybody gone on vacation and wanted to splurge a little on sweets, bread, and fried chicken? If so, did you go off of your met while you were eating, or did you take a medication for the runs?

I take 1000mg met per day. Last year when we went to Majorca, I cut down to 500mg per day, plus the food there is pretty healthy, lots of fish, some steak, salads. I only ate dessert a few times, although I had some alcohol nearly every day. I was worried about having an "emergency" while we were at the beach, but it never happened.

Thanks for sharing Hunterli. I'll use those tips when I travel also.

I was also wondering, what happens if you ever want to have a few cocktails?
