[QUOTE="Jay3109, post: 24631, member: 7764"] Not totally OT but when I was first diagnosed about 6 years ago, I was put on metformin and ended up in hospital with pleurisy. I was told at the time by my GP (and indeed was convinced) that I was allergic to it and was then given alternate meds. About 9 months ago, I went to a new DN who said she had never heard of anyone being allergic to metformin and put me on Glucophage (slow release metformin) despite my initial reluctance. Thankfully all is well now and I have not had one moment of problem with it (But my goodness it is a whopper of a pill !!). But I have never really shaken off my belief that given that so many people experience unpleasant side effects with the standard formulation that perhaps it was something more than coincidence... :roll: [/QUOTE]
