I have a serious problem with my feet itching , I've tried med for fungus to no avail. I am wondering if the metformin and the glimepride is causing the itching.

The most common adverse effect of Metformin is gastrointestinal upset, including diarrhea, cramps, nausea, vomiting and increased flatulence; metformin is more commonly associated with gastrointestinal side effects than most other antidiabetic drugs. The most serious potential side effect of metformin use is lactic acidosis; this complication is very rare, and the vast majority of these cases seem to be related to comorbid conditions, such as impaired liver or kidney function, rather than to the Metformin itself.
Metformin has also been reported to decrease the blood levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone in people with hypothyroidism, and, in men, luteinizing hormone and testosterone. The clinical significance of these changes is still unknown. This is not a full list of side effects for Metformin.
