Thanks for that, but I'm already on the SR version, clue is in the the title of this thread :D

OK, had enough of this stomach upset thing ruining my life! Having to plan things around the need for the toilet :evil: Started to take Imodium, and things have calmed down to near normal :) The next time I see my GP or Nurse will mention this, but I do not want to stop taking Metformin as...

Thanks hanadr for you reply. I did query with Chemist but they didn't really have an answer. :shock: I've now been taking my full dose (2x750mg) after my evening meal since Monday and so far my stomach has seemed better during the day. I guess the next HB1aC test will prove if this is...

Hello Long time no write! :D I know there are threads about how people tend to take their daily dosage of the above metformin medication. I'm currently taking 2 x 750mg a day, and have been for over one year. I have been taking one after breakfast and one after my evening meal, this...

6.7 on waking, woohoo! :D

... my lowest ever daily BG reading of 6.7! My readings having been hovering in the low 7's for ages, I feel well chuffed with myself :) I know it's only one reading, 2 hours after eating lunch today, but I found this well encouraging.

Hello & welcome :D

Hi Susie & welcome. I can't advise regarding the medication you mention but I can totally relate to your feelings about being angry, upset and the injustice of having this now, right before Xmas :( I actually dreamt about Cadbury's Roses chocolate last night, I'm at the obsessing/grieving...

Oh yes, IR, too right! :lol: Thanks for the reply :D

Hi What's the difference between Moderate Release and Slow Release Metformin? I think mines MR. Is one better than the other, say for instance, feeling less sick on the SR version opposed to MR? I'm actually beginning to feel less sick today, which is brill! :)

Hello Steve & welcome :)

Metformin Hi My GP has changed my Metformin to a slow release (Glucophage) version and increased the dose to 2 per day. Still feel sick, and tummy feels upset. I take meds with food, AM and PM. How long did it take other people to feel OK on the same medication as I am? The nausea is...

Hello Roy and welcome Some GP's seem to have this skewed view that most people who are overweight eat rubbish all the time, lol! It may be true in some cases, but not in yours or mine. Well done on being approved to be foster carers. That must be a very stressful process to go through. I've...

Thanks for your reply's, I don't feel quite so panicky now :) I do feel hungry most of the time since starting the Metformin, hope this will pass.

Hello all I came across this excellent site and have found it to be very informative. I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes after a pre-op assessment this Tuesday. I was scheduled to have the operation (removal of an Ovarian cyst + Endo) this Thursday but it was cancelled due to this...
