Hi everyone. I was diagnosed with type 2 two years ago. Briefly I was given metformin SR straight away as my test was high and I was not over weight and a vegan and ran regularly. Was so ill I came off them and was put on gliclizade, ill again so was given Glimepiride and was ill again. I even lost my job as I was a gardener and was getting lows about 3/4 times a day on these tablet as well as flu like symptoms. Devised a strict diet that took me into pre diabetic state which was 17/7 fasting. However my tests have now crept up a bit and GP gave me metformin again and I am now struggling with severe bloating and discomfort so I am stopping them again. My blood tests are not terrible just higher than satisfactory. Can anyone think where I go from here.
