Hello,
I have been taking Metformin XL 4X500mg daily for sixteen years. I have started to have stomach problems and reduced my dosage to 1000 mg. I can not keep my sugars at the right level. My Doc placed me on Junvia and I doubled over in stomach pain and then he placed me on Cliclazide 60mg a day. My stomach pain went away and my sugar levels were good. But after two months the side effects kicked in such as constipation and abdominal pain. I eat soo much roughage i felt like a rabbit.This did not help the side effects. My Doc wants to place me on Victoza which makes me nervous. I am wonder if my pain can be caused from slow gastric emptying?
I do not know what the symptons are for this. My Doctor has also asked me to think about insulin. He indicated that most type two diabetics will end up on insulin. Is this true? Has anyone else had success with any other oral medications that i have not listed?
Need you help
David
