Answer 1

You must be taking glucophage, or the generic brand called metformin, which can cause lots of stomach problems. Diarrhea being the biggest one...
You're going to have to see a doctor and have them re-evaluate your meds, I'm on glucotrol and avandia, both oral meds, and byetta, this one is an injection 2x a day, and this seems to help.
I don't get sick anymore, like I did on glucophage, similar to your side effects.

High blood levels of glucose can cause several problems, including frequent urination, excessive thirst, hunger, fatigue, weight loss, and blurry vision. However, because type 2 diabetes develops slowly, some people with high blood sugar experience no symptoms at all. How to treat diabetes naturally https://tr.im/IClGp

Symptoms of type 1 diabetes:

Increased thirst
Increased urination
Weight loss in spite of increased appetite
Fatigue
Nausea

Patients with type 1 diabetes usually develop symptoms over a short period of time, and the condition is often diagnosed in an emergency setting.

If you think you have diabetes i think you should have a checkup and speak with your doctor just in case.

I don't think it has to do with your diabetes. You might have irritable bowel syndrome. That happens when ever you eat or even take a bite of something It tends to go right through you and you have the runs and end up in the bathroom. It is awful to have because my mother suffers from that. You may want to mention it to your doctor. Maybe he can give you something for it. It's very annoying for my mom. Good luck!

type 2 diabetes is caused by he pancrea's is producing too much a hormone called insuling. Which is what couteracted anything you eat with carbohydrates. I'm not sure why he's letting himself get so low like that..He could end up in acoma or die but he has to want to change there's not a damn thing either of you can do until he wants to. He has to totally change everything he's doing his diet his drinking has to stop everything.

My best friend is a nurse and I asked her the same thing. I find it quite embarrassing. If we go out to eat, I have to come home as soon as the meal is done.

She talked to the doctors she worked with and told her to assure me it was normal. They did suggest that I talk to the doctor about it so he's aware of what's going on. Due to the imbalance in your system, it causes this. It also has alot to do with meds. It's basically irritable bowel syndrome.

Please don't be worried, but just let your doctor know this condition is persistent. I've come to know that certain foods, stress, lack of sleep, change in meds and other things can all effect it.

Good luck!!

type two diabetics can develop difficulties with their digestive systems. i was diagnosed with gastric???? when my doctor pushes on the top of my stomach, just below my breast bone, it's uncomfortable for me. i have to take protinix to help with the problem. i tend to have symptoms that mimic heart burn and my stomach swells a little and i feel nauseated. it happens only once in awhile. stay away from overly processed food and fast foods and try to eat naturally like high fiber, foods such as fresh fruits, vegies, berries, whole wheat, whole grain carbs, lean proteins, soy products, and low/non fat dairy products. drink plenty of water and green tea. if such an episode should arise before you see your doctor, try drinking some pure aloe vera found in health food stores. follow the directions. you can also drink some ginger tea or eat a little bit of ginger with ice cold water. To help with digestive problems, some natural herbs you can use are chammomile, cayenne, aloe vera, and papaya. exercise and dividing your food into smaller meals and snacks also helps. good luck

You may have an additional problem....Depending on the type of medication you are taking,diarrhea and upset stomach are common.But it is more common to urinate often with type two diabetes.
