After a pre-diabetic A1C reading, I began Metformin 500mg five days ago, taking it once daily with breakfast. Stomach upset and burning with urination ensued after three days. Because I also have interstitial cystitis, the urinary tract burning symptom confuses me as it is also an IC symptom.
How long after starting Metformin does the body react to it? My doctor initially ordered one month of the prescription before either refilling Metformin or changing to Trulicity once weekly injectable that she preferred I use.
I should also mention that my weight, exercise and eating habits required absolutely no changes due to my active fitness lifestyle.
