Im a Type 2 diabetic, not born with it but both my parents side had diabetic in all family members & some died due to that very long time ago, ever since i was a kid i do not love sweet stuff, i still end up getting it. anyway my sugar lvl is around 6-8, taking 500gm glucophage (metformin) once a day only in the morning, but i skip sometimes when im lazy lol. I manage to stay on 6-8 without taking med for 2 years for my personal reason (do not follow my steps on skipping)

Your blood sugar is actually very high at 14, my dad is at 9-12 his taking insulin once a day & 850gm 1 tablet morning & night, after medication his hovering around 7-8 if he "curi makan". So far none of us had diarrhea issues but to be fair my dad had be taking the medication since his 20s, only started insulin maybe in this last 2 years, his now near 70.

You need to start a new strict diet plan, it wont be too extreme but if you could follow this you would lose weight while at it.

- Try to stop taking white rice or rice of anytype, i know ppl would usually go for brown rice but i would skip rice all together
- No carbonated drinks (coke/100+/7up) even for fast food combo choose drinking/mineral water
- Eat 60-70% full not too full, do not skip meal.
- Never eat near sleep time
- Skip everything thats sweet (chocolate/ice cream) apart from fruits, even for drinks like milo, horlics, sirap ice, teh ice & etc etc, if you had to then choose kosong.
- Do not buy products with less sweet, or artificial sweetening
- Take more soup based food, mee/kueh teow/meehoon goreng those to replace your normal rice meal
- try to sweat more from work/exercise

After doing this awhile you would probably get used to it, its hard to begin with but most diabetics patient that could control their diet had to go thru this stage. getting diabetics this early in age means you will have to be on medication for at least another 30-40 years, you had to get things under control fast else it might damage your kidney or other parts of your body (eye, leg, hand)

Anyway here is a good news for you, you can start a fun diet plan like how i do to me & my dad. Mon-Sat no rice, Sun (curi makan day) , but for you i would not suggest this plan yet but try 2 weeks once to start? once you could get it down below 9-10 then you can try my "fun plan".

keep trying dont lose hope! diabetic isnt the end of day. (Please buy your self a glucose meter, so you know which food you need to avoid)


Edit:-

This is the info i get from searching
Glucophage (Metformin) is a very effective medicine to lower blood sugar and the risk of complications and death from diabetes, but it's likely to cause diarrhea for the first few weeks.
