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.
 
Hi, Can I ask how long you have been taking diabetes medication for? Did you start in taking it if Feb,or has the dose changed recently?
 
I’ve been taking the same dosage since August but tbh it’s only the last month that I’ve been taking it Properly.

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
