[QUOTE="Jay-Marc, post: 1323034, member: 327284"] In rough terms around one quarter of people can't tolerate standard metformin because of regular gastric issues that never 'settle down'. Of these about half can however tolerate the slow release forms. As for anything, tolerance can change with time. The slow release version costs about a pound a packet more. This side effect is so common that metformin should really be the first suspect considered by doctors for gastric problems for anyone that takes it. Maybe there is less appreciation about how severe they can be for some individuals. [/QUOTE]
