Type 2 Diabetes and stomach pain

[dpg]

I have been on 4x500 mg of Metformin for the past 16 years and resently started to develop stomach pain. I rescently went on a holiday which included a lot of hiking. I cut back my Metformin to 2x500 a day and my stomach pain deceased. I informed my doctor of this and he switched me to Cliclazide 2x30mg and 2x500 mg daily. Things went well,but my morning sugars were high. he switched me to a drug called Januvia which I doubled over with stomach pain.
He switched me back to the Cliclazide and Metformin and I now take the Cliclazide one in the morning and one in the evening it controling my sugar but I am expriencing side effects which include sevre stomach pain and constipation.

Does any one know of any oral drug that does not cause stomach pain?
