[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2457950, member: 372717"] Metformin gets a lot of flak on these forums from those who can't tolerate it. However it works well for a lot of people (not just diabetics, it's a treatment for PCOS) and has been around for long enough so that the side effects (long and short term) are very well understood. I didn't hesitate to enter a medical trial to see if it would help T1s (it was double blind and I never found out if I was taking a placebo) and I can understand why it's a first line treatment for T2s. I don't think diabetes has to be all or nothing at all, you just do the best you can and try not to be too hard on yourself if you need some medical help. But needing some help doesn't mean you have to give up on the low carb. [/QUOTE]
