[QUOTE="mrburden, post: 454435, member: 10956"] I'm T1, but both my parents developed T2 as they got older. My mother had no problems with Metformin although she was a vegetarian and lactose intolerant, so there was little to upset her system anyway. My dad had problems with Metformin causing diarrhoea. At first it was only when he ate certain foods, but eventually it became a problem with almost all meat and dairy foods. He ended up on insulin only and was able to re-introduce all the foods that had been an issue while on Metformin. It seems to be a fairly common side-effect of the tablet, but some people seem to become able to tollerate it, while others suffer for a longer time. [/QUOTE]
