Type 2 Delayed Metformin Side Effects?

[Beej@76]

Hi, I've been on 1 x 500mg Metformin for about a couple of months now and have only been suffering very mild side effects but all of a sudden I have now joined the ranks of being afraid to venture far from the toilet. Could this be the Metformin?

I would suspect so - unless you have introduced different foods recently, but Metformin builds up gradually and does take time to show its full effects.

Have you reduced your carbs?? I only ask because I have been on Metformin for years and years and never had a problem - until I recently decided to try a zero carb experiment and I now know what everyone is complaining about!! You have my total sympathy. Luckily, for me, it just took going back to a very low carb diet to turn it off but I really wouldn't have liked to have had that problem if I worked outside my own home.
