Hi All,
Having a few issues with Metformin tablets,i was diagnosed T1 in June started them then along with my novo and lantus pens.Inoticed my feet were swelling legs getting stiff couldnt hardly bend so i called the doctor but with covid ongoing its a pain however when i told them the sysmptons etc they agreed for me to go up.
I had an examination got put on water tablets had the Metformin put up to an extra tablet so im now on 1500mg which has resulted in really bad stomach cramps diorrhea and feeling pretty rotten.
Im not one for reading the side effects on tablets as i wouldnt take them at the best of times,so i read the Metformin seems everything i been feeling is there but instead of the doctor looking at them has put them up ?
it doesnt make sense to me so ive stopped taking them for the time being as i seriously cant deal with anymore.
i will be ringing the nurse tomorrow as i feel my doc hasnt helped my situation
it was tuesday i went the docs back wednesday for more bloods me calling thursday saying now i got cramps n diarrhea to be told be monday now but we done a prescription for metformin gastro resistant....do they work ive read many peoples comments and it dont look good
thanks
