A type 2 newbie here. Received the results of my last Friday's fasting blood test on Monday. GP confirmed HbA1c was 52, and prescribed 500mg Metformin twice a day.
I've read the sheet of text that's tucked into the tablet's pack, and it does say symptoms will subside.
About 3-4 hours after taking a tablet I seem to get nauseous, stomach cramps, diarrhoea, fuzzy head and eyesight.
I guess I've just got to ride the symptoms until my body gets use to Metformin?
Since Monday I've gone very low carb, perhaps this sudden change of diet isn't helping?
