[QUOTE="mazowe, post: 932061, member: 204529"] I as diagnosed with diabetes 2 July 2015 after the NHS health Check but had no symptoms of diabetes apart from high blood sugars. I was put on normal Metformin and with 2 days I got every side effect listed on the information leaflet and felt awful the longer I was on the tablets. Not actually been able to see my doctor or anybody at the practice since (long story). Had to contact my doctor by letter and then she phoned and changed me over to Metformin SR - 1 day. Was fine for 2 weeks but then I got muscle/joint pains, cramps, sweats, painful stomach, constipation and put weight ON, despite eating less and exercising more. Have stopped taking any tablets now for about three weeks and feel a lot better, and back to losing weight as I was before. [/QUOTE]
