I'm 55 yrs old white male. I was diagnosed with type 2 in January of this year. I'm trying to control it by diet and with metformin 1000mg, 2 x a day w/meals. I've noticed that sometimes I get hot flashes and recently have noticed that I seem to get them after consuming a meal. In the past before being diagnosed with Diabetes Doctors have tried treating me the same way and with the same drugs used to treat women during menopause with no relief. I'm wondering if this is a side effect of diabetes
