[QUOTE="pavlovsdog, post: 1382751, member: 132394"] I was on Metformin for 5 years with terrible side effects to the point where I couldn't even travel very far due to needing the loo so frequently. I was encouraged to carry on taking it despite this but it became intolerable so in the end I just refused it. At the time there was a lot of buzz on this forum about forxiga and I asked to be prescribed this instead, been on it a few years now and it's made such a difference. Even so, my last Consultant still tried to persuade me to go back on Metformin as it would 'help my weight' - which it hadn't done anyway! [/QUOTE]
