I had to stop taking Glucophage.   It made me have diarrea everyday.  I could not take the the next dose up to 1000mgs a day.   It was too much on my system.  They changed my meds  to Vandia.  Which I am doing fine on right now.  No side affects yet.   I am still testing it out a 4mgs    We will see after my blood test if I have to take a higher dose.
