Metform and diarrhea

Hi . I wish you could continue on Trulicity. Did you apply for financial assistance? Here is a link to their program information: https://trulicity.lilly.com/savings-resources. Unfortunately, diarrhea is a common side effect of metformin. We are not medical experts, so we can't give you any specific information, but here is an article about managing diarrhea with type 2 diabetes that might help: https://type2diabetes.com/living/constipation-diarrhea. Your doctor might also be able to adjust your dose to ease your symptoms. I hope this helps and that you feel better soon. Best wishes. - Lori (Team Member)

Hello , thanks for sharing. I used to go through the same thing. My doctor had me take my mind with meals. I know we are all different. As suggested, talk to your doctor to see if they can do something about the dosage. Let us know how things are going. How long have you been on metformin? Diane (Team Member)
