Hi everyone - I'm Charlie.
I'm a type one, and take novorapid with everything I eat, on a 1u-10g after 10am and before that, 1u-6g basis, with 44 degaldec.
Last month my doctor started me on Metformin (just 500mg) to take with my evening meal, but each and every time - without fault - I've been nauseous and all around ill because of it. There was a brief period when my pharmacist wasn't able to supply me with Metformin for three or four days, and getting off the daily dose made me feel so much better. I'm in contact with my main clinic nurse, and she says just to see it through, but I'm missing a lot of school because of it, and I don't know whether this is normal, but...I'd just like some advice? I'm feeling terrible, and I'm laying in bed asleep half the time because of it - I get to sleep just after midnight, and have brief periods of wakefulness around seven or eight, before going right back to sleep until five in the afternoon. Is this normal?
