[QUOTE="FoxgloveUK, post: 422347, member: 60185"] I had exactly the same problems when I first went onto metformin. I was taking 2000mg and had the most awful tummy trouble. My GP changed me to the SR version (Glucophage) and I took one in the morning and one in the evening. I had two years of constant toilet trotting and eventually I went on to use insulin. I reduced my dose to 1000 (in the morning) and finally the trotting stopped. I'm happy to say that all is now functioning well, but only since I went onto a low carb diet. I have no idea if that helped the situation, but I feel 1000% better now than I have for a long time. HTH Fox [/QUOTE]
