    Wondering about coming off metformin

    excuse me but you have no idea what I’ve been through with it. I was on the normal one and I also have ulcerative colitis so had an absolute miserable time on it. I’m on the slow release and I’m fine.

    completely the same as you. Back on it full dose and happy to do so. Helps with weight and hunger as well as other benefits.

    Metformin sl

    Thank you so much for your reply! I’m glad you understand. Yes I shall give it a month and see how I feel then discuss with doc about increasing the dose if I’m okay with it. If I’m hungry I have less control you see.

    Metformin sl

    It’s a well known side effect in a lot of people. It helped me a lot in that regard which is why I’m wondering if the sl version is the same. I can’t eat too much fat it makes me feel so sick so not having an appetite helps me.

    Metformin sl

    Sorry I’m not sure I explained. I was on Metformin for 1 yr. it was intolerable so asked to be put onto slow release. I was on 2000mg of Metformin now I’m on 500mg of the extended release. My doc says that’s all I need to take, but that seems low to me?

    Metformin sl

    Hi all. Been put on Metformin slow release but doc says 1 dose of 500mg is enough and I don’t need to go higher. I’m not convinced. I thought it’s the same dose of 1000mg in the morning and same in the evening. I want it to take my appetite away. Anyone help??

    Rubbish isn't it. I have a suggestion for you. You can prepare me a meal and send it over. That way I don't have to do it.:hilarious:

    I think those without kids, young families etc find it slightly easier as there is less to think of. I might be wrong. But adding kids, etc to the mix does make it a lot harder to cope I think.

    I’ve never been interested in cooking. Hate it and have avoided it. Ace let me try that! Thank you! I have never cooked much. I’ve always thought Someone else should do it really. I ideally want a cook so I can tell cook to bake me something.

    Thanks. I wish it were true but for me it’s not getting any easier even after a year. I still hate cooking and find low carbing very hard.
