[QUOTE="pleinster, post: 1628596, member: 221545"] My transplant was in Edinburgh is 2015 and renal specialists in conjunction with diabetes consultant would not prescribe metformin despite my initial post-op eGFR of over 60. Maybe though that is just hospital policy with all transplant patients as the function is prone to change and is usually lower than that. Personally, I would not risk metformin if I had any worries over kidney function. I would add that I chucked the Gliclazide pretty quickly too as I wanted to be able to see exactly what difference I could make through diet alone. Still, we are all variations on a theme and I would never totally disregard medical advice on my kidneys. [/QUOTE]
