Hello all, I'm new to the forum.
I was diagnosed T2 some 14 months ago and did dally on a forum elsewhere briefly when first diagnosed. It was helpful, but its good to see an area devoted to type 2s.
Forgive me for starting out on a less than tasteful note but I'm beginning to despair. Can I talk bowel movements for a moment? :sick:
I was originally on 4 x Metformin a day but persistent horrible diarrhoea caused too many problems and I was put onto SR Metformin. This improved things considerably; not perfect but much, much more tolerable. Many months later suddenly the problems I experienced on the normal Metformin are back. For the last week I have been struggling, glad that I am at least at home (being off work after a foot op in December). I'm now feeling completely drained and thoroughly fed up.
Has anyone else experienced this on SR Metformin and, if so, what did you do about it?
I'm just off to buy some slimline ginger ale, I have found it helpful if I have had stomach upsets in the past.
