[QUOTE="etmsreec, post: 864722, member: 22426"] I'm not on metformin (T1 rather than T2), but I can understand that there would be an altered sense of smell as both smell and taste come from very similar nerves and senses within the body. Think about the "herbal infusions" (sometimes known as fruit teas) that one can buy. Very often they have very little taste, but they have lots of smell and the body is fooled by how it smells. Same as the colour of drinks have an impact on how they taste (a red orange drink not tasting of oranges, for example.) In short, the body does some screwed up things for us so I wouldn't just dismiss your symptoms out of hand. [/QUOTE]
