I have not had that issue --- but drinking more water will help to flush the excess fluid.

Drink as much as you can ---

Thanks. I read online that low protein can cause it too. I am not getting enough protein probably. I will work on both. Hope it helps!

Caffeine may add to it to.

Took a pill to help rid me of some water. Ate more protein too. One say at a time. I know caffeine can cause you to go more but can it make you retain? Continuing to do all I can. Good news sugar is improving!

Diuretic worked. 4 lbs one day. I knew something was wrong.

Hi,

   I'm experiencing the same problem. Which diuretic did you use?

 It was actually a prescription. I'm doing much better and trying to drink enough fluids.
