[QUOTE="NewdestinyX, post: 921244, member: 35544"] those "horse pills" we're very hard for me to swallow as well. But that wasn't the reason I stopped. It was the gastric distress with Metformin ER/Glucophage. I begged my doctor to go on injections and I never looked back. It's work perfectly for me for several years now. You gotta watch how many carbs you eat or you'll pack on the stones when you're on insulin. Insulin sort of "returns you to normal" where everything you eat will go on your waistline if you don't exercise it off after you eat it. Insulin's primary jobs are as: 1) a converter of glucose to energy as you exercise -or- 2) as a fat storage hormone if you don't exercise. So just be careful how you eat while on insulin.. If you just use it as a cover for eating high carb foods you could blow up like a balloon. [/QUOTE]
