[QUOTE="Goslclive, post: 644984, member: 131486"] Hi all. I'm new to this site and am not a doctor but have been type 2 for 7 years and prone to all of the side effects medication can offer. 'Head Sweats' are something I suffer from and my research suggests a condition called Hyperhidrosis can be linked to Metformin use - might be worth mentioning this to the doc when you see them! I've also recently been advised by my doc following my annual checkup that my B12 levels are too low and this in turn gives a whole wealth of discomfort including sweats, shortness of breath, fatigue, vision issues etc - this shortage is [U][B]directly[/B][/U] related to Metformin and affects 30% of users of Metformin. It may be the most diagnosed tablet but I'm on my way to the docs on Monday to have Metformin replaced, most likely with Sitagliptin, a new drug that sits between tablets and injections that has a side effect (one I HOPE I get) of aiding weight reduction. Symptoms B12 deficiency are extremely uncomfortable and they've only been testing during a blood test for the last two years - they do get the feedback from blood test so ask ifthey don't tell you!
