Must be lucky. No problems on metformin. Been on slow release for some 12 months now. Evidently they are more expensive than the others so they prescribe them first before the slow release ones In uk

This med Rybelsus is awesome.It has helped me bring my A1C down to 5.1 from a high of 9.7. I first started with the 3mg and am now on the 14mg. Been on this med since March and while I did experience some nausea and mild upset stomach it went away after about a week. It has also helped me lose 50lbs as well. I also take with metformin. I should be the poster child for this drug...even though I'm 50.
