Carm. I too was on metformin for a couple of years when I started having problems with diarrhea. I was a go any where unless I knew where the bathroom ps were. I wasn't happy with my Dr. , so I found another one. My new Dr was very easy to talk to & understanding when I told her about it. She change my metformin to a different metformin. I haven't had any more problems with it. She also has me taking it less & my blood sugars are good. Talk to your Dr & if your not comfortable talking to him/ her find one you can. You are the one in change. God bless , be safe, & healthy. 🥰

yes its time released metformin xl I'm on it too

Metformin, prescribed by an endocrinologist gave me explosive diarrhea. Note... It is not who/what prescribes the medication, but the medication itself that does or does not do it's thing. I might add... I had taken it for a couple of years without problems and then.... All of a sudden, it became my enemy. Don't believe anyone. talk to your doctor and get help working it out. they are your friends.

Pls don't entertain those negative remarks, Mertfomin is okay as prescribed by endocrinolgist
