I was having problems walking taking Metformine I was on 2x500 a day so when they said they were going to fevise my tablets I thought great. The appointment came 4 weeks down the line. Whe during the consultation they said they were going to change the tablets to slow release I blow my top my blood pressure went to 216. I said I thought I was having a change in tablets yes they said you are now on slow release. I said what is the good of that it is still metformin. And they put the dossage up to 4 a day. Well after 2 weeks I could not walk at all. Got an urgent appointment with doctor he put me bach on standard Metformin but 2 a day.
Tried this for three weeks still could not walk properly. Then I caught pneumonia lost a lot of weight thoght I ws going to die. Doctor came to see me asked how am I getting on with tablets. I said I have reduced them down to one,. He said why am I not suprised, By this time I was walking properly again. My sugar levels have not changed a lot.
