[QUOTE="DaftThoughts, post: 1594391, member: 317436"] I've been taking it since diagnosis. I'm currently insulin dependent (and will be for life) but I continue to take it 2x a day at 1000mg each. I never had any stomach issues on it, but I also take a stomach protector because I was having problems even before I was on oral meds. I keep them because they noticeably improve my insulin resistance. I went without for a few weeks, and while my bloodsugars weren't dramatically high, I did require a little more insulin than usual. It also helps prevent liver dumps into the body. Low carb is not an option for me right now, I eat moderate to high carb, but I suffer no ill benefits from the metformin. As they say, YDMV (you diabetes (mileage) may vary). No meds is always best if possible, but don't be scared of medication. If you need it, then you need it. There's no judgment, only a treatment that works for [B]you[/B]. [/QUOTE]
