[QUOTE="gaoler, post: 388345, member: 68252"] Hi In was diagnosed in February this year and put straight onto 500mg Metformin - lasted about 3 hours before I was violently sick, sweating, very weak (from the sickness) and at one point my skin was itching so badly I just wanted to scratch myself to death (between throwing up) ..... after 2 days I went back to the GP and was clearly allergic to the medication itself. Been on 80mg of Gliklazide since then - Blood sugar down from 18 to around 8 and no side effects (just don't drink alcohol AT ALL now) Good luck! Gaoler :) [/QUOTE]
