I was diagnosed with T2 two months ago and take 500mg SR Metformin with breakfast (mainly porridge) each day but as a life-long migrainer, I am experiencing more frequent and severe migraines. My GP doesn't think there should be a link with the Metformin and that the reason for the increase is probably related to anxiety relating to my new condition. Just wondering if anyone else out there has experienced similar problems with headaches/migraines?
I stopped getting migraine after the menopause. In 20 years I have had less than 5-10 migraine attacks in total.
Out of the blue, since my GP insisted I increase my MF to four x 500mg a day, I have had 3 migraines in 4 days.
I am worried. The aura is quite severe, with the visual flashing and loss of proper sight.
It is worrying.
So disturbing - I’ve done well since I was diagnosed and at this point I was right in the borderline of DKA.
I immediately changed by lifestyle and two months on I have lost a stone and 9 lbs and my bs levels are mostly in range
( below 8.0, usually in the 7s and 6s)
My next HbA1bc is due mid April and I’m hoping for good results.
I really hope to be able to reduce my MF meds.
I just find it a bit scary as I’ve never had this happen ever. Three in four days is not ideal.
