[QUOTE="DJC3, post: 2294325, member: 468536"] I had stomach problems, although I did have IBS symptoms before anyway. The metformin certainly seemed to exacerbate it. I believe there is a slow release version which seems to have fewer side effects it might be worth asking about. In the end after reading round a lot on this forum, and reducing the amount of carbohydrates I eat, I actually stopped taking metformin altogether and my HbA1c is now in the normal range. ( IBS also cleared up after changing to LCHF) It might be worth asking your doctor if you could try managing your T2 with diet alone for a few months? [/QUOTE]
