hi I've been diabetic for 8 years and i put my hands up and say the tablet side I've not been good at taking (I take insulin fine) so I start taking my tablets because I know health risks older and wiser but they are making me feel dreadful I take prolonged release tablets 4 daily but the 2 in the morning by tea time I get stomach cramps diarrhea and just feel awful any ideas what I can do?
 
Is it metformin?, ask your Dr for the slow release?
some have better luck with lower carbs with it, I don't know because I was always low carb taking it because I'm overweight T2

it's good to hear you are getting on with your insulin, I wish you well
 
The tummy problems are normally due to having to many carbs when using metformin even the slow release that you are on.
