I have been diagnosed since February this year,I already have a Auto Immune Disease.It is so rare only 2 people get it.It means my immune system attacks my large arteries.diabetes is another string to my bow lol Forgive my jest,All the medications that are renound to cause diabetes,i was already taking,diabetes had been threatening and finally i was told i have it ,How often should you have a blood test,i also asked if i needed to test my SGL,She said i didnt,i was given Metformin ,500mg twice daily.I went for an eye examination,this come back normal,Would taking Metformin cause severe diahorea cant remember how to spell this word ,what happens now regarding Diabetes management.It feels like im left to my own devices.I have also been losing a lot of weight ,nearly a stone in five weeks plus i am so exhausted all the time,All i can think about is sleeping HELP any advice.
 
Metformin quite commonly causes gastric upsets for people. It if persists for more than a few weeks, you could ask for the Sustained Release version instead. However even that can cause problems for some people.
