side effects

I’ve not been on for a while as I was getting really anxious about it all and I have Mh issues anyway so needed a break. I now have a meter and have after consultation with specialist been prescribed a low dose (40mg once a day - just to start with will be increased gradually, depending on bg...

This is very odd one. (relates to my previous post but new question) I used a blood ketone monitor for the first time (brand new), it revealed between 2.0mmol/L and 3.6mmol/L. (Very risky) I used a blood glucose monitor, it revealed between 6.0mmol/L and 8.0mmol/L (normal range) I felt fine as...

Hello everyone, I was diagnosed with Type 2 last year and started Metformin in the spring. The type I took initially didn't agree with me - sickness, upset stomach, all pretty standard I think. I was swapped to a SR version and that seemed to agree with me much better, I started it about 4...

Hi I have been a diabetic for about 4 years now and was put onto Trulicity back in July after been trailed on another unsuitable medication. I have a very weak stomach, and have been told that the side effects I am experiencing on Trulicity will pass. I generally feel 'yuch' everyday, however...

Hi everyone, I'm completely new to the group and I'm really happy to be here. I've been a type 2 diabetic since late 2016 early 2017. I've been on metformin and pioglitazone as well as atorvastatin for my cholesterol as I have a fatty liver. I used to work in a local hospital as a healthcare...

Has anyone had their Canagliflozin dosage increased? Please, can you tell me if you experienced any side effects from the increase? Last week my father's Canagliflozin dosage increased from 100mg to 300mg - he's been a lot more tired than usual, confused etc. - We're wondering if it is from...

So I finally picked up the new prescription for my metformin yesterday and took a tablet this morning. Monday I’ll call the GP to have a conversation. A few times whilst taking metformin I’ve experienced something very disconcerting. I’ve stood up and have almost keeled over. I’ve had a short...

Diagnosed last week. In a rather unsatisfactory manner. (See my Bit of a Shock) thread in Newbies. I’ve been 16st something for a while now and I know I really needed to shift at least three stone... worth noting that max weight over the last four years has been recorded at 17 1/2 stone. Just...

I'm seeking info on some nasty side effects with metformin notably bloating seriously smelly wind and abdo discomfort

I've been taking Semaglutide for number of months now and I'm crippled with trapped wind all the time. I just wondered if anyone else has trouble in a similar way and if they have any advice on how to minimise the side effects or how to best deal with it. I just don't want to eat as I know each...

Hi everyone, this is my first post on here. I’m just shy of 27 and was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes a year and a half ago. I attended the DESMOND programme a year ago and since then have taken Metformin since the spring of 2019 and then slow release later on in the year. I’ve been prescribed...

I'm newly diagnosed Type 2, and have been on Metformin for over two weeks. However, each day I am feeling more dizzy. I wake feeling dizzy and it now last longer each day and have to take things easy or else I'm close to feinting. Is this likely to wear off? Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

Our 11yr old Boy was diagnosed on Dec 18th 2018. The last 3 months have been crazy, stressful, upsetting but also totally amazing seeing how he has coped with it all. All was going really well until he started getting stomach cramps all day everyday. The DSN put it down to Anxiety which he has...
