Have you tried berberine? My doc has me on 500 mg of berberine before each meal. My A1-C is okay/within range on it.

Yes, I had intolerable side effects from 2000mg Metformin daily. My GP changed it to one weekly injection of Truilicity and one 500mg Metformin daily. I no longer have diarrhoea running down my legs and is much more manageable

For nine yrs. I took the brand name Glocophage, with no problems, My bloodwork and A1C was always good. A yr ago i was told I could no longer get this medication in the USA, Because Doctors r perscribing so much generic meds. Theres not enough demand for Brand name meds. This past yr. I have been perscribed 4 different generic Metformin, Glimepiride, Januvia, jermenet, ect. None of these meds have worked for me.. stomach problems, pain below my rib cage, does not bring my blood sugar down, My hair is like straw, no engery. Its just really hard what i am feeling.Sorry, thought someone may have gone through the same and found the right solution
