Lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. With metformin there may be some side effects like the ones described. However, if taken after food, the drug is better tolerated. Since there is no mention of glucose levels & HbA1c%, there is no idea how good the glucose control is. Switching over to alternat therapies is your choice. There are no drugs that can reduce blood glucose or make pancreas secrete insulin in those therapies, even though a lot of false claims are made. Thanks.
