[QUOTE="topcatt53, post: 170213, member: 7028"] Like you I had been taking metformin for years without any side effects and good blood sugar control but then started to get the side effects you mention alongside diarrhoea so bad it caused incontinence on several occasions - not only embarrassing but totally shook my self confidence as regards leaving the house. I spoke to my gp and asked to be referred to the diabetes specialist who after several trials involving other medication in tablet form has now prescribed byetta injections for me and I am hoping this will be the answer. So my advice would be to go along and see your gp and see what he says - you may have become 'immune' to the metformin and need to change your medication although this of course could lead to another set of side effects until you find what works for you.
