[QUOTE="longshanks, post: 246358, member: 33851"] I have been type 2 diagnosed for 3 years now, first it was diet control 6 months on I was started on Metformin one a day seemed ok then increased to two, then four, side effects were palpitations and generally feeling ****, dizzyness when bending down then getting up 7 months to and fro from the hospital heart centre having tests were no one and I mean no one queried my diabetic meds. I then went to GP and got a change to Glicacid, after 10 day's of sweats and feeling tired, back to GP and a change onto pioglitazone stating that this is the last oral med he can give me the next stop is Insulin, with this news I really tried hard to cope but eventually the side effects got to me and I elected to go back onto Glicacid, after about 6 weeks the side effects are palpitations especially after I have eaten also a bloated sickness feeling. I am Struggling to cope with all this. I have now turned to low carb food, portion control ect. HBA1c is 8 at last check which was a week ago. Does anyone else go through this ? I'm sure there is but it would be nice to discuss it, I might see some light at the end of my very long tunnel. regards Brian 6"3, male and 16 stone age 62. New to forum and my first post [/QUOTE]
