[QUOTE="ChrisOT61, post: 418848, member: 77360"] Hi there, I was diagnosed with type 2 about 6 weeks ago and put on 850mg metformin twice a day. Boy did I suffer! Terrible nausea and stomach cramps and diarrhoea every day. I went back to the doctors to ask for the slow release tablets and was refused but he did reduce the dose to 500mg twice a day and said I should never have been put on such a high dose straight off. I have only had one incident of bad diarrhoea since taking the 500mg and that was when I stupidly ate two ( yes two!) mini pork pies! I would persevere for a while as hopefully the diarrhoea and nausea will decrease as your body gets used to the metformin.
