Hello again. Diagnosed in February, I’m now taking Metformin and Gliclazide. I have had pretty contestant tummy ache for a couple of weeks. Is this normal? Pleased because my blood test was better recently but this is getting me down. Thanks.
My insides felt as though they were on fire for weeks - I was utterly miserable until I just could not stand it any longer and gave up the tablets completely - I was taking Metformin and a statin.
Hi,
I couldn't tolerate Metformin, there are lots of other diabetic meds. Go back to your GP
Have you tried adjusting your diet?
If you have very high blood sugars it's important you take your meds.
Hope you feel better very soon
Take care

Had real problem of gas and loose stool (sorry if too graphic) but, I’ve noticed that now I’ve cut the sugar/carb intake I’m fine with no stomach issues (2g Glucophage a day)! I’m still raised a little but think I must have been OTT before - hope it improves in time
