Hello,
Glimulin MF 2 and Dianorm M are combination antidiabetic medicines and metformin is common in both. The stomach pain and diarrhea that your husband is experiencing is due to metformin.
I suggest instead of taking Dianorm - M,you should take only Dianorm and also stop glimulin mf. Please also continue checking your blood sugar or else you can also consult your nearby physician.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
