I have been moved onto Glucaphage from ordinary met for about 6 weeks now I am not rushing to the loo now and feel better but I have been sick 4 times in this time (not as often as on mets).When I am sick it is always in early hours of the morning between 3am and around 6am I take my glucophage pill (second of 2) with my evening meal around 6.30 .Does any one know why I should be sick 9-12 hours after pill ther doesnt seem to be any other conection eg what I have eaten.Why does the morning pill not make me sick? I do not feel ill or have bad stomach ache when I am sick althuogh I am not happy with my head down the loo in the early hours :mrgreen: .Has any one else had this problem before I go to GPs he is the one who says that what youdoes not affect your BGs only the meds do that ,so needless to say I dont have much faith in him.Thanks CAROL
 
When you are sick at between 3am and 6am do you test to see what your blood sugar levels are ?

It may be that you are low at that time and you may need to have a snack to bring your levels up again.

What do you eat at your evening meal ? Do you have a snack before going to bed ?
 
Never thought of this sue but I have never been below 6 whatever time I have tested so I did not give a thought to being low I will try testing next time :mrgreen: I some times have a snack in the evening but it depends what time we eat and how tired I am.Thanks for the sugestion. CAROL
 
Sick again this morn 4am :mrgreen: Wonderful :!: I tested 7.2 so not low .Is anyone else having this problem? If I ask GP to change my meds what is the next option after met sr am I likely to get other side effects .Is it better to be sick every 3 weeks or so.Any ideas :?: CAROL
