For Diabetes, Type 2 I take Metformin, have since 2008. Just last November my Doctor put me on 0.75 dosage, because my A1C was 7.5. I was nauseated a few times, but it passed quickley. In February, my A1C had only dropped to 7.2, so she put me on 1.50 dosage. I have had horrible indigestion, stomach cramps, back pain and just feel downright horrible with chest pains, every time I eat, no matter what it is. I asked her to put me back on the lower dosage, so wish me luck. It did help me lose a little weight, even on the lower dose.
