Diabetologist,  's  Response
Dear sir I can understand your concern.in my opinion the medication what you are taking might be Metformin
this is a very good medication for diabetes.
I suggest you to change your brand to glucophage xr or glycomet xr
this new xr formulations will have little side effects than regular formulations
