[QUOTE="sadiek1804, post: 1432357, member: 393482"] I am on metformin SR. I take 1 tablet a day as I also suffered horrendous toilet trouble to the point I couldn't leave the house. I just stopped taking it even though I was told not to, it's ok for someone to say that when they don't have to deal with it. I was in 4 a day to start with and I defiantly didn't lose weight in it. However I am now on insulin twice a day with one metformin and just recently started the newish drug forxgia (sorry can't spell) which supposedly helps with weight loss, but in turn causes terrible thrush, headaches and to pee a lot more than I do already. I have never taken my diabetes seriously for the first 3 years and Iam suffering some minor consequences like background retinopathy but Good thing now though is I've not put on any more weight (or lost) my levels are as low as they have ever been and I generally feel loads better. I was averaging between 15 - 20 and now Iam as low as 7. My point being, it works differently with each person and you know your own body better than anyone and if you feel the way you do about it seek advice and help for your dr or a diabetic specialist? I can put up with minor issues if it means long term health. Good luck x [/QUOTE]
