[QUOTE="berylc, post: 2481077, member: 42210"] I was put on normal metformin with bad bowel results, was eventually put onto SR metformin for 2 yrs. I missed many days of work due to the medication, the worst was on holiday in Paris, which was ruined. The Dr referred me to a dietician who told me I wasn't keeping a true record of my eating habits, as SR didn't give me extremely loose bowels! Eventually my wonderful diabetic nurse told me to come off all medication for 3 wks whilst I went on holiday. everything was perfect, then I went back on the SR... every bit as bad. So I was put onto Glimepiride 1mg with main meal and I have never looked back. it is now in my medical notes NEVER to be given metformin of any sort again. [/QUOTE]
