With Gluc. you still need to make sure that you take it with food or you will get diareahha. At first it made my belly feel very odd.

roughly the same time (not that I always remember.) Your morning dose is
probably making you sicker because you haven't eaten since the night
before and your body needs a buffer.
The other thing is don't feel bad about calling your doc. This is
his/her job and you shouldn't have to put up with feeling horrible. It's
hard because this is a frustrating disease and often we don't feel that
something is wrong unless we are taking our meds.
Good luck!
