[QUOTE="Dennis, post: 11537, member: 1338"] Hi Jake, One thing to add to Karen's excellent advice - pretty much the only alternatives to metformin (in terms of meds that act in the same way) are pioglitazone (Actos) and rosiglitazone (Avandia). Advice is that these must never be taken by patients who have suffered a heart attack. So be warned should your GP suggest either of these to you (I only mention it as your GP didn't seem to be aware of metformin problems for heart patients, so appears to be not very clued up on diabetes meds).
