12 years on Metformin, 1g x 2 daily. I've always had the toilet problems.
I am on insulin and struggling to get BG under control, but working on the LCHF way of life.
I do not see any benefit to carrying on with Metformin and feel the drug is being forced on me by my Consultant, with them telling me about how it protects my heart etc.
I feel I am wise enough to make my own decision, but wondered about other people's opinions?
Being completely honest, I only ever wanted to go on Metformin when I was diagnosed in 2005 because I was told I had PCOS, but the drug has never really improved things relating to that.
