I was diagnosed with type 2 in may last year and prescribed metformin 500mg twice daily. I had no problem adapting to the metformin apart from a lot of passing wind. I lost 2 stone in 4 months by following a weight watcher principled diet. I was feeling great until january this year when i started to experience indigestion, something i had never had aproblem with before. I have been eating a big amount of fruit (plums,nectarines,cherries,strawberries etc) the spells of indigestion lasted about 4 hours and were really painful. The last week i had a bout of it that started at 1.30pm and by 11pm that night was still going and i couldnt stand the pain and was admitted to hospital and was there 5 days. On admittance and throughtout my blood sugar was good but my lft was "deranged". I am wondering if this has happened to anyone else. Could it be the metformin after all this time? Have i been having to much fruit? Is it just the start of gastric problems. Any comments?
