[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2097874, member: 196898"] Reading between the lines of your posts here, I get the impression that you have an oversensitive stomach for some reason. I do not think Glic is responsible for upset tummy, and I have been on it for 3 years now including the max dose without noticing any upsets. It is not something that others have posted either, so it certainly does not seem to be a commonly reported side effect. Metfartin I understand since that does have a documented history for causing problems. I think you could discuss with your doctor to increase Glic to see if that helps. I find it needs a high dose to start off, and then it can be reduced as sugars come down. If you really are reacting tummywise to Glic then a small increase could make it worse and thus confirm your sensitivity. 40g/day is only just above the parapet, and seems more like a holding dose. The other advantage that Glic can offer is if you are a driver. It is one oral med that DVLA acknowledges can lead to hypos, and so you may be able to negotiate test strips on scrip from a GP.
