I have been a Type two diabetec for sixteen years. I have been taking 4X500mg of Metformin daily,which has kept my sugar under control. Over the past year I started to have major stomach pain. I went for all the testes and they could not fined anything wrong. I went on a hiking vacation and cut back my Metformin to 2X a day.
My stomach pain decreased substantially. I informed my doctor of this and he change my medication to Cliclazide 2X30 mg and 2X 500mg of metformin daily. My morning sugars were to high and he switched me to a drug called Januvia after a month of taking this I doubled over with stomach pain. Currently I went back to 2 metformin daily,but i am stuggling to keep my sugar under control.
I see my Doctor next week and he wants me try a new drug that is injected that is not insulin it starts with a V.
Can anyone help by suggesting a medication that does not give you stomach pain?
Thank you
