Message: <blockquote data-quote="Chris9R" data-source="post: 1329085" data-attributes="member: 207402">Hi all I read a lot here but don't post much (sorry)I've been diagnosed with T2 for just over a year now and for the last 6 months or so the slow release metformin has really given me a really windy problem along with an upset stomach almost every day. I just had my yearly check and talked trough the problem with the nurse and she's put me on Gliclazade 80mg twice a day. I've been on them a week now and it's fantastic, no more upset stomp and more importantly no windy trouble ( my partner is very happy)  I'm just wondering how long it takes to work? My morning finger pricks are between 8 and 9 and 2 hours it's in the 12's. the lowest so far is 7.3, I did have lower readings on metformin 1000mg twice a day. I watch what I eat and walk about 2 - 4 miles a day with my dogs. Any help ideas welcomed..Thanks Chris</blockquote>
