I had the same problem, but because I have Parkinson's. The liquid Metformin made me nauseous and gave me diarrohea. I couldn't continue with it. I had managed Metformin tablets (2×850mg) fine for years. I'd have a throat examination.

I've posted before about my meds, which have changed a lot this year. I have Parkinson's, T2 and one or two other problems. I was on Metformin tablets (2× 850 per day) for a long time, but my Parkinson's made swallowing the tablets very difficult, so I was changed to liquid Metformin, which made...

I have Parkinson's Disease, and the Metformin tablets became too big to swallow. Changed to liquid form, but the constant nausea and diarrohea made ne stop taking it. I eventually got an appointment with the practice nurse, who put me on Sitagliptin. I reported back to her that my blood sugar...

11.9 this morning. 19.8 going to bed.

How odd. If I skip lunch, my sugars go high. Doesn't seem to be a reason that I can find.

I was on Atorvastatin, then Simvastatin, but the side effects were gross. Now I take Rosuvastatin, which at least doesn't affect me adversely. Never knew statins affected blood sugar, though. I've stopped using one or two of my tablets, even though they were prescribed, purely because of the...

I found out more or less by accident that my blood sugars were high (15mmol or so). For a longish time I'd put the symptoms down to the medication I was taking after a heart problem. I've been on 2x850 Metformin for a while now, and after a stable period, I recently had a series of highs and...

I should also have mentioned that sometimes my sugars are down to 2.8 or 3 mmol. Same diet, different day.

Thanks for that. Looks like my diet is/has been the worst. Take away bread, rice, pasta, cereals.......that's my diet gone. I most certainly will look at that diet. Thank you.

I live in Spain, and a while ago I was diagnosed as diabetic. although it wasn't said, I think type 2. At that time my sugar readings were off the scale on an Optium Neo which I had been given in the UK a few years earlier as 'borderline diabetic'. Thinking it was broken/out of date, I got a...

Thanks for that, Galja. I shall take your advice.

I'm too new to give you much advice, but I'm in the same boat...overweight, lack of exercise..all the same stuff. But it's not all doom and gloom..a reasonable diet and a bit of exercise works wonders, and the Metformin (Spanish spelling) seems to do the job. You can have meals out, and coffee...

Well done you! Give yourself a gold star!

I've been taking my metformin for a couple or three weeks now, and have been steady for that time. A little earlier, I felt shaky/shivery, and did a test at 2.8. I've never been this low - my original problem was high, over 25. My query..I had some cola in the house for times like this, had half...

6.7 fasting. Not brilliant, but better than 25.1 four weeks ago.
