My legs have swollen quite dramatically over the past couple of days and I'm obviously retaining fluids, which is something I have never been troubled with before.
I'm T2 taking 1500mg Metformin daily, and trying valiantly to alter my diet permanently; however my BG isn't at all stable and is always on the high side (sometimes very)
Hi Viv,
Fluid retention is not a known side effect of metformin (although it is a common side effect seen in glitazone diabetes medications). I believe it is common in thyroid problems, so as Sarah said, get youself to the docs as soon as you possibly can.
