[QUOTE="Winnie53, post: 1405299, member: 160246"] [USER=26739]@Sarah69[/USER] I'm still not sure what's going on with you, but I think it's clear that the metformin needs to be replaced with a medication that does not cause loss of appetite and nausea. Glad you've set up an appointment with the GP. I'm so glad Indy51 thought to ask you if you're taking a multi-vitamin. Metformin depletes vitamin B12. This is important. You need to ask your doctor to check your B12 level. If your B12 level is chronically low over a period of time, it can make you very, very ill. Note the bolded symptoms near the end of the list.
