[QUOTE="poshtotty, post: 1594701, member: 100221"] Indeed. I had successfully managed my T2 for over 10 years with diet and exercise alone but after a sudden bereavement and a lot of stress, needed some extra help with managing the condition and was put on slow release Metformin (Glucophage brand). I have never had any problems with it and certainly no stomach problems. Like [USER=400972]@Rachox[/USER] I built up my dose gently and gradually over several weeks. I'm more than happy to remain on it for its extended health benefits and consider myself lucky that 13 years after diagnosis this is the only medication I take to manage my condition, while continuing with LCHF and exercise. Interestingly, I've been able to drop a lot of other meds I was taking for a different medical condition diagnosed around the same time as T2. I also get my B12 checked annually as part of my routine blood tests. My liver and kidney function are tested every 3 months and each test so far has come back normal [/QUOTE]
