I'm type 2 and was diagnosed 2 months ago.
I told my Dermatologist and she said she wasn't surprised because my Hidrenitis Supurtiva and Diabetes type 2 go hand in hand. She immediately put me on Metformin. I started on 1 x day for 1st week, 2 x day for 2nd week and 3 a day now. She said it had lots of side effects, however, the advantages outweighed the side effects and to keep taking them if I could. The main side effect is diarrhea, however, I have never been affected this way. I do get flatulence more, however, using soya milk (sweetend, can't stand the unsweetened one. Can't drink it in coffee, however, I only drink coffee when I go visiting family and friends) and cutting down on bread, (always had problems with dairy products and bread), the flatulence has reduced to my normal levels.
