  • Diabetes and constipation

    The most common side effects of metformin include diarrhea, nausea, abdominal discomfort, and occasionally, vomiting. While not everyone experiences these symptoms, they are more likely to occur when starting the medication or with higher doses. To minimize these side effects, healthcare providers often recommend starting with a lower dose and gradually increasing it over time. Additionally, taking metformin with meals can help reduce GI discomfort for many individuals, allowing them to effectively manage their blood sugar levels with this medication. Regarding the constipation you will need to ask your doctor about other contributing medications or undiagnosed conditions. Hypothyroidism can actually cause constipation. Also low fiber intake and dehydration can contribute. You can also consider a trial of probiotics and see if that helps. Metformin should also be taken with B12 vitamin due to risk of B12 deficiency.
