[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2424000, member: 372717"] Metformin gets a lot of flak from those who don't appreciate its gastric effects but a lot of people take it and don't have any problems at all. It's a well known drug that has been used for many years for a number of issues (eg PCOS) so has the advantage that its side effects are well understood. I personally didn't have any hesitation in volunteering to take it for a double blind trial to see if it would help T1s and didn't have any issues (though I never found out whether I was taking the drug or the placebo. :)) [/QUOTE]
