I hope she has also prescribed a blood glucose monitor and strips as that is a medication which induces the pancreas to produce more insulin so has the potential to cause low blood glucose. You should have a means to check especially if you feel unwell.
That combined with metformin is a common treatment regime. I believe there are quite a few people who post here who take them.

Hi, thank you, yes I have the monitor and strips to test, Ive had t2 for about 20 years but recently my glucose levels have been shooting up to 18/20 I'm truthfully fed-up with taking SR metformin, since having a stroke that nearly killed me, I seem to have trouble swallowing the metformin, fed up with diabetes full stop! when you get to 76 a lot seems to get you down, LOL!
