Hello, my Grandmother has been Type 2 diabetic for about 2/3 years now and she gets frequent bouts of diarrhoea daily. She’s been to the doctor about it a few times, and they just tell her that it is a side effect of the long-release tablets that she’s been taking. However, in the last year/few months, her tongue has become inflamed and sore (which she puts down to using asthma pumps), and she has been getting red blotches on her hands, arms and legs that seem to inflame and swell up and then the next minute go down.
On looking up these symptoms last night, I read an NHS article that basically said that all of these symptoms could be a severe allergic reaction to metformin. I was just wondering if anyone has had anything like this before and what to do to fix it. Thanks for any help!
