Hello There

[Mrs Mad Ronin]

Just remember that metformin can make you want to go to the toilet a lot at first, well it did for me! 🙄 so if you do get a funny tummy you no why!

But it will pass....just make sure they give you the slow release metformin as this will also help.

Good Luck!! 🙂

Thank you, given that i suffer with IBS, i'm hoping it won't last too long 🙂

That sounds good. Will have to try and do that. I will hunt around for the details 🙂

It's on August 9th 🙂

Here is hoping but knowing my luck, i bet i will be bonding with the toilet for awhile. But i will ride it out and hopefully it will pass and settle down. Oh the joys i have to look forward to LOL

Hi Michelle and welcome x
I suffered with IBS for years but now after 6 months on Metformin I no longer have any symptoms and feel better than I have in years! I had an upset stomach for about 2 and a half weeks to start off with....but wasn't anything I wasn't pretty much used to if im honest because of the IBS...then suddenly it stopped and I haven't had a problem since! I hope its the same for you

Good afternoon everyone 🙂

Well i was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes a week ago. I see the diabetic nurse on the 13th where i have been told i will be going on Metformin and then given all the relevent information etc. I'm not completely new to this, well i am when it comes to myself but i have always known it would happen as it's been a big thing in my family for years. My late father had it for many years before he passed away last year. So i am educated to some extent. But now it has finally happened to myself, i'm not as calm as i thought i would be.

I suffer with an anxiety disorder, so while the logical part of me is calm the little devil called anxiety is making me panic. I'm frightened, i will have to change so many things. I know i need to lose weight as i am overweight however exercise isn't easy for my due to having a hip disabilty. So that worries me alot.

So i find myself here, looking for support and friendship with people in the same situation as myself.

I look forward to hearing from you

Michelle
