I have been taking a combination of Sukkarto 2000mcg and Gliclazide since a high Hba1c reading last September. Prior to that I was taking 1000 mcg daily.
I've also been taking Omeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor, to deal with stomach acid.
Basically, I've had an upset stomach since I started. It has been getting worse and I have daily diarrhoea, as well as loss of appetite and occasional nausea.
I stopped taking the Gliclazide about two weeks ago, saw my GP last week and spoke to the diabetes nurse. I also stopped taking Omeprazole about two days ago. The effects should take two weeks to wear off.
Unfortunately, I still have diarrhoea, stomach pains and loss of appetite. I'm really fed up. The doctor has got me to submit a stool sample as a precaution, but I think the main problem may be the Sukkarto.
Has anyone else had this kind of experience and what do you recommend? My Hba1c was down to 61 when tested last week.
