You are taking medications but your diabetes is not controlled.Stomach upsets do happen.It is not the question of overdose but whether it is working or not.Better consult the doctor for fresh review.Also please give equal importance to controlled diet,regular exercise for at least 40 min a day and a regular stress free life.Diabetes management is a comprehensive approach and regular monitoring is essential.

My sincere thanks. i walk regulariy for 1 hour covering atleast 5 kms.But i am still on 3meals but avoiding sweets. golblodder is removed due to stones. is that bothering me to loose motion?

in reply to sharu

Gall bladder removal should not cause you much problem if you do not indulge in spicy and oily food.Loose motion could be due to diabetic medication.Pl. check with your doctor.
