Diabetes, Type 2
"I&#039;m a 62 year old male. Some years back, I was experiencing a very dry mouth and frequent urination. I had my blood sugar level measured and it was at 350 so I was prescribed Metformin. The Metformin brought my sugar level down to about 150 but gave me a very bad upset stomach. The nausea wasn&#039;t temporary for me. It didn&#039;t clear up even after taking the metformin for weeks. However, I did find a solution to the problem. I switched from the regular fast acting metformin to the extended release metformin XR. The difference was like night and day. I have had no nausea at all using the metformin XR. If you&#039;re having stomach problems using regular metformin, I suggest trying the extended release version. I now take 2000 mg of metform XR daily."
