I wish there was an easy answer, Soma, but I don't think there is. The best advice is probably (a) to always take Glucophage with a meal, (b) to eat an appropriate diet that balances complex carbs and protein, and (c) to stick with it. The side effects should pass once your body adjusts to the drug.

If the side effects are really bad, you might want to consider switching to Glucophage XR, the time-release version of Glucophage. Some people have reported a lower incidence of side effects on it.
