Metformin & Gliclazide side effects

[Sean-W]

Has anyone experienced any issues with these medications? Im convinced that one or both of these are causing me to have irregular bowel movements (if any at all) Stomach cramps and a severe lack of sleep, If anything I feel more tired and sleep in the day. Is any of this things normal? I take 2 Metformin and 1 Gliclazide twice a day. I also must mention I've begun the LCHF diet.
