[QUOTE="Violetluis, post: 875527, member: 188311"] Has anyone had any serious side effects after taking Metformin for a number of years? I have been taking it for at least ten years, together with insulin, and recently I had my potassium levels rising plus my lactactes. I have been taken off Metformin and am now waiting to see if that was the real cause and also waiting for results of my latest blood tests. I am very worried about this as both potassium and lactactes are potentially life threatening issues. Has anybody any experience on this? Any advice? I am now managing my diabetes on diet and insulin only as I cannot exercise because I am disabled and constantly in pain. I would like to hear from anyone who has similar problems or can shed any light on problem. Thanks to all on this Forum, I have found it quite comforting to read about other diabetics, other problems, other circumstances [/QUOTE]
