Hi,
I’m type 2 diagnosed a couple of months ago. I was put on metformin 3 times a day but as I built up to 3 I just couldn’t tolerate it so I’ve stuck with 2 a day. My blood sugar is between 6 and 9 usually and my hbc1 has improved but my stomach isn’t happy. The nurse gave me slow release ones but to be honest they made me worse! What are the alternatives to metformin? Just curious before I go back to the gp what I might be able to change to and if they are better on the stomach? Thanks
