"I took acarbose for 2 months. It did nothing to lower my blood sugars. I had diarrhea severely and bad gas all the time. I had to stop going out in public, and a restaurant would have been rude. My husband moved out of our bedroom, and my family complained around me. Stomach pain was very strong and felt weird. Since I have been off of it for 1 month, my colon seems painful and I am having trouble getting back to regularity."
