Hi people I'am a new member to this forum, So be kind ok!
I've been diagnosed with Diabetes 2 for over a year now, but
showed sign's of condition year's before in ignorance.
Having suffered Fibromyalgia for year's
I'am currently on Metformin SR Tabs,
After the previous Metformin Tabs upset me with cronic pain in the tummy etc
Now on the road to recovery with my blood stat's at a 5.0 - 6.9 margin which is
good for me.
Has anyone else suffered from this reaction?
And more importantly anything else to say!
Look forward to your remark's.

Welcome to HealingWell, am.Paul. We're very kind! I'm glad you found a way to cope with the typical side effects of metformin. It can upset your stomach especially if you take it on an empty stomach or if you overload on carbohydrates. For your information, cutting down on bread, pasta, potatoes and other carbs will help the metformin work more efficiently, too, and you'll see really good blood sugar readings.

Tell us a little about yourself. I'm glad you found us here.
