[QUOTE="gaismith, post: 1528293, member: 256050"] I was diagnosed 4yrs ago. My GP has done very little to help me until the last year when the neawly trained diabetic nurse got involved. This time in 2015 my sugar was on avergage 37 throughout the day. Metformin worked for a while and got it down to around 9 but then stomach issues started. I am a veterinary nurse and the pain an nausea was just crazy and diarrhoea would hit without warning....like when i was monitoring an animals anaesthetic. I am IBS but these meds without doubt make it worse. I switched to slow release and it did not improve. Eventually it got so bad the nausea, pain and diarrheoa was not condusive to a normal life. Pulled out th metformin and the gastro symptoms immediately improved. Went to insulin and duglatide. In the last few months my BGS is creeping up and dispite 42ui of insulin at night i cannot get my BG in the AM below 10 or 11. Daytime and evening has creeped back up to 9-12 So saw the disabetic nurse and we added Jardiance which i am supposed to take once a day. Within two hours the exact symptoms i had with the metformin are back Im scared to take any oral meds now and I cannot live a normal productive life with those side effects HELP? :o( [/QUOTE]
