Most people have no issues with Metformin after the first week or two. You need to find the best time to take it, this could be with a meal, just before the meal, or just after the meal. You also need to slowly increase the dose.
There is a slow release form of Metformin that your dr can prescribe if the side effects remain after a few weeks.

I’m a type 2 on Metformin, not everybody suffers bad side effects. I’ve been on it for seven and a half months. I had a few days of upset stomach at the start, I increased from one tablet/day first week, to two second etc. I now take three per day and absolutely no side effects.
