I have been controlling my diabetes quite well on diet alone for two years now I have to go onto Metformin as my body is no longer coping, I have all my symptoms back, tiredness, itchiness, peeing all the time to name but a few BUT I am terrified of taking these as I have a pretty sensitive tummy at the best of times and don't want to fighting two things plus work etc etc. Doctor just says well if you don't take them you will be very ill so its up to you, they think I have been taking them but I haven't HELP what are these drugs really like - I am new to this forum so be nice
