I've been on Metformin for 9 months now. Didn't have any issues until recently. I now have muscle cramps in the legs and occasional bouts of uncontrollable diarrhea that lasts more than 12 hours. Is it possible for side effects to be showing up this late in taking the medication?
I took Metformin when I was first diagnosed with T2D last November. I didn't last 3 weeks on it. I was so very sick with Diarrhea and being super dizzy. Doc took me off that right away and put me on [[treatment:Januvia:5612ce4f6bcd619a[[phone:12000360]] 100:]] mg. I lost weight and my a1c went from 7.9 to 6.3 in 6 months. if you take meds for high cholesterol, I would look into that as well for the muscle cramping. Hope this can help you in some way.
Totally Agree with the full sugar vs substitutes. So many substitutes can cause heart palpitations and other health complications.
even though my symptoms initially eased around 3 weeks after starting the pills- I find that when my blood sugars are high or i'm am not 100% the symptoms come back
