[QUOTE="ChrisOT61, post: 416516, member: 77360"] I have been really struggling on metformin. The doctor prescribed 850mg twice a day from the start, no ease into it. I have been suffering bad tummy cramps and diarrhoea for over a month now and went back to see the doctor to ask for the slow release tablet. He first of all said I was already on them , but I am not. Then once we had established that I am not on slow release, he said that he couldn't change me over to slow release as he was not the doctor who originally prescribed the talents and as he was a locum he wasn't prepared to change them!? He said I had to wait until I go to the diabetic clinic on 30th August and they might change them. He changed my dosage to 500mg once a day for a week and then twice a day.... I had quite an argument with him but he wouldn't budge. Will the diabetic clinic nurse be able to change me to the slow release? I am not a happy bunny at the moment!
