[QUOTE="Worthamfalls, post: 1545052, member: 426753"] Hi, Diagnosed a few weeks ago type 2 HBA1c was 71, initially out onto Metformin 500mg wishing 5 days I was in extreme pain in my stomach Along with toilet issues (as many folks have described on here), doc put me onto slow release metformin 500mg and now up to twice a day with no side effects. I have recently when walking outside on flat ground experienced a fall most of the time I have managed to stop myself from properly hitting the ground.....until this morning on my way to work, fell down (ground was even) but I have badly taken a chunk of skin off my big toe and knee is bad too. I wanted to know if this could be a side effect if metformin or in any way related to type2 diabetes, must admit this has me freaked out a little. Heading to see the nurse at my surgery to have my toe washed out may need steri strip. I was wearing sensible low wedge footwear that is open toed. Would love to hear from anyone! Thanks [/QUOTE]
