[QUOTE="Spen44, post: 1337035, member: 231778"] I had to double my Metformin dose last month because of a high sugar level, I had been taking 500g twice a day for 3 years with no ill effects. I am also gradually reducing my Prednisolone steroids, so when I started to have awful diarrhoea I thought it was a steroid withdrawal symptom. After 4 weeks of this problem and having lost a stone in weight I saw my GP, who said it would be due to the extra Metformin, not the steroids, her advice was to go back to the original dose....but I stopped taking Metformin altogether as I don't want to risk an upset stomach over Christmas. I am now feeling much better and today had an HbA1c test, am hoping that the result will be low - maybe I won't have to go back on Metformin, fingers crossed! [/QUOTE]
