Hi
I was on Metformin and had terrible issues..
I didn't start straight away but slowly got worse..
Yellow smelly diarrhoea .. Stomach pains. also feeling really not well..
I ended up being referred to the hospital it was that bad..thinking it was my pancreas..
My tests came back ok.
My diabetic nurse told me to stop taking them and I am so much better..can't believe how long I put up with it..
Just waiting to go back now and try something else.. Any ideas of a drug with minimal problems would be grateful as I don't want to go down the same road I had with the Metformin ..
I too had bad problems with metformin - (Bad squits/pains/nausea my gp told me to take imodium i thought this a ridiculous idea!? I stopped taking them I felt ill just thinking about them and asked to be referred to an endocrinologist diabetes clinic at hospital - the alternative was other tablets that make you put weight on - or insulin so now im trying metformin again - but small amount 500mg once a day at night - for 3 weeks then up the dose gradually - so far ive been ok - apparently this is how it should have been done in the first place - ive been told they are by far the best thing just hope my body will accept the full dose - hope this helps
