Perhaps you can ween yourself off the meds with a proper diabetic diet.

The Metformin is what is causing you nausea. That is a very common side effect of this medication. Their is a extended-release metformin which can decrease the nausea problem. The most common side effect of Metformin are: diarrhea, nausea, bloating, stomach pain, gas, constipation, and unpleasant metallic taste in mouth.
As for the avandia usually it is tolerated very well. But should not be used in a patient with heart disease. As for long term side effects from these medication you will decrease your chances of having complication from high blood sugar like neuropathy, heart disease, retinopathy and nephrothapy. According to all current study they have not showed any bad long term side effects so far. Good luck hope this helps!

Lots of people starting on metformin have gastro distress- gas, "the runs", naseua, but many say it passes with time. I have taken Avandia (plus other non diabetes meds) for 4 yrs without any symptoms,. Hope yours subside, good luck.
