I'm so sorry. That medication is hard on the stomach. I had to be taken off of metformin,because of the side effects. I hope you feel better soon. Yes,it does take a little time. When I was first diagnosed, I was on Metformin 1,000mg. twice a day. I was sick constantly, had to take Zofran,for nausea.

Most diabetes medication is designed to help suppress appetite. Bad carbs work against you,as does startches. Be mindful of the processed foods also. Consuming more water,walking,and portion control helps. Sending best wishes
