Hi - I’ve just joined the group, although I have been diagnosed with Type2 for about two years. I didn’t start Metformin until about three months ago and although I was only on one 500 mg tablet a day to begin with, it’s gone up to one with each meal about 4 weeks ago. But since then I have felt increasingly sick, bloated, and it seems to have given me awful wind and diarrhoea. I’m surprised about this because I’d already been on it for about eight weeks and so was just a slight increase in dosage. Also, if you read information online, it suggests that you only have this kind of issue when you take it for the first time. Am I alone or does anybody else have similar experiences? I’m thinking about dropping it back to 2 a day or maybe even one. I’m just so confused by it all. Any advice would be appreciated.
