[QUOTE="DavidGrahamJones, post: 1790328, member: 245335"] As you say, different people have different reactions. I was one of those who had life changing side effects. Life changing because I stopped going out and was scared to even leave the house. Traveling anywhere was a misery. However, if anyone is about to start taking Metformin (or any other drug) I would say "take it". If and only if it causes problems should an alternative be considered. I first started taking it in 1997 with a break of 3 years because of the side effects, but at least I tried. The Rosiglitazone I took in it's place was even more disastrous at it affected my liver function and is no longer available because of that. I've now been taking it since 2003 and certainly since I've been on a low carb diet, no real problems. [/QUOTE]
