Been to the doctors tonight and he has changed my tablets to Metformin slow release.

Hoping these will work and stop the frequent upset stomachs!!:):)

Worked wonders for me! Couldnt tolerate the normal metformin. Slow release fixed all the issues.

These worked so much better for me, before I was put on slow release Metformin I had terrible symptoms of Lactic Acidosis. Immediately my doctor changed my medication and it has helped a lot with controlling my BS. Still get some symptoms but no where near as much as before ☺️
