I Am Type 2 Diabetic, I Take Meds But Not Insulin. I Get Sudden And Sharp Stomach Cramps, That Disappear Within An Hour. Is That Common?
Did you just start taking the meds or has this been happening for a while?
Anytime you start a medication or increase the dose it can cause Stomach trouble
But if this is not the case, see your doctor
We have to be careful not to blame diabetes for everything from isolated pain to hang nails
What's happening to your bowel function at the time?
Consult you GP ASAP
Exactly @A DiabetesTeam Member if it persists longer than about 2 weeks then you may not be able to tolerate the drugs (5-10% of people can't take a given drug)
But the alternate drugs can often come with "worse" side effects so it's always best to give a new one (or increased dose) a good shot before trying to stop them
Our body "knows" that Meds don't belong there and sometimes "rebel" a little at first :)
Hi all,
@A DiabetesTeam Member, you are right and this was confirmed by my doctor. She explained that the sharp stomach cramps happen when you start taking your medications or the dosage was changed. The pain eventually goes away.
I Have Type 2 Diabetes. I'm On Metformin But I Don't Feel Any Different Since Before I Was Diagnosed. I Feel Fine. What's Up
I Am An Insulin Dependent Type 2 Diabetic And Was Diagnosed In 2007 But Still Have Trouble With Diet, Any Suggestions?
Without Just One Or Two Of My Diabetes Meds My Numbers Would Surely Be In The 200s. Does This In Fact Actually Make Me Type 1 Instead Of 2?
