WARNING TMI: Metformin And Amaryl, Anyone Else Have Tummy Troubles While Taking These?
A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭

My dr has prescribed Metformin and Amaryl and it does a pretty good job of keep my sugar levels down. The trouble is every time I eat, I have to rush to the restroom, in hopes I make it there, because it gives me diarrhea. Anyone else dealing with this?

Maybe it's the combo. Thou I have seen where people have an isssue with the metformin.. Not familiar with the other. It's a reaction to one of them or both.
