How can diabetes be managed?
Patient: 5 months ago diagnosed with diabetes. Metformin caused bad GI upset. Glimipride working well. Having really bad muscle cramps/spasms-especially in forearms. Very dry mouth. Recently new symptoms of very foul gas/bloating, bulky stools. could be malabsorption syndrome? (Dr. Google) Doctor: bulky foul smelling stools need not be malabsorption syndrome always, it can be simple infective diarrhoea.A course of Metronidazole would help the cause.As far Diabetes is concerned keep check on your HbA1C
