Anyone having trouble with Metformin? Been taking it since diagnosed in April. Having bowel problems since increased, told to keep taking it and should settle down but it is getting worse. Is this normal? Anyone else having long term problems?
Yes I have been taking it since diagnosed in April too and having exactly same problem. Told to keep taking it even though I got my hba1c down from 8 to 6.3. My levels are continously below 4 or 5.

Taking first one with breakfast. Second one with evening meal.When are you taking it? Have you tried different timings - with a different meal etc?
It’s reccomended to be taken once a day with dinner. Maybe that would help?Taking first one with breakfast. Second one with evening meal.
Unfortunately GP has prescribed one twice a day.It’s reccomended to be taken once a day with dinner. Maybe that would help?
That’s their recommendation, they aren’t coming round making you take it twice a day. You can follow the leaflet advice and try it once a day if you want to, it’s your body.Unfortunately GP has prescribed one twice a day.
