[QUOTE="Michele01, post: 873655, member: 188227"] I really do sympathise. I've been taken off Metformin for exactly the same reasons. I was told to take them either with food or just after which I did but if I had a meal that the Metformin didn't like, I'd have my head down the loo for at least an hour. Unfortunately I also couldn't be far from a loo because I had explosive diahorrea (up to 9 times in one hour) and never knew when it was going to happen. I'd literally get a 30 second warning. We've just come home from holiday and whilst away I had to reduce to one a day because I couldn't go out of the villa because I was so worried about having an accident. Thankfully my consultant prescribed Forxiga and I've started that now and dropped the Metformin altogether. It's only day 2 on the Forxiga but so far I feel liberated! It makes you wee more and you need to drink lots to flush the sugar out but, for me, it's been a much better tablet. Fingers crossed it will help with my levels. Have a good holiday and just watch what you eat while you're away. Don't suffer - you need to find a solution. One size doesn't fit all! [/QUOTE]
