Yannah....I couldn't handle the metformin as it caused me all sorts of stomach problems. What you might try is to stop taking the metformin and see if your diarrhea disappears. If it does, then you might want to consider insulin, as you don't take it orally. Injecting insulin seems to give you better control of your numbers without the stomach upset.
