[QUOTE="Sid Bonkers, post: 367412, member: 19121"] Slow release metformin doesnt work any better than ordinary metformin so wont make the slightest difference to how well it lowers your bg levels, the only difference is that it is slow release and as for asking for it before you know whether or not you will have a problem with it seems a bit extreme to me to say the least, a bit like suggesting that everyone wear a crash helmet all the time "in case" something falls on their heads... Side effects are not a given and thousands of people have no side effects what so ever from metformin, I also doubt that any doctor would prescribe a more expensive med just in case you might have a side effect. You may have had a problem with metformin Geocacher but the majority do not. [/QUOTE]
