I currently take metformin for diabetes type 2 but they are causing my stomach to get so big. Is this normal and if so, what can I do please?

Many people have problems with Metformin. Often the slow release version is suggested since the problems are less with this. In any event you will have to tell your DN of the problem. Maybe you can stop taking them for a day or two to see if things improve and at the same time prove it is the Metformin. Get agreement from your HCP before you do anything permanent.
