"Problem with Medication"

As a patient at Rampton hospital,  I feel exhausted with how I am treated Re: medication metaformin diabetic meds I am prescribed these meds at a certain time monring and afternoon and staff expect me to take this metaformin on an empty stomach which the pharmaceutical company advises needs to be taken with food or straight after food, as when I take my metaformin on an empty stomach I  get acute flatulence and stomach cramps. So as a result of unpleasant side effects I choose not to take metaformin, but I then get written up as refusing to comply with medication regime.

At the same time the nurses don't care and leave me at risk due to this. Diabetes UK advised me to take food with my meds.

It's draconian. I very rarely eat breakfast at that time in the morning so when I ask can I have my medication and breakfast a bit later I am told no, it frustrates me that staff can have their breakfast at any time. It's divide and conquer as nurses can do what they want but patients can't.

I am finding this difficult to take.
