Metallic taste from metformin

[Sealord]

Has anyone else experienced this....im new to the medication side of things...t2 since March 2014,

recently out of hospital after blood sugar was raised by prednisone to 38.4 mmol/L.

Now on Novomix and metformin....still got metal taste when eating....how long b4 it goes away?

In my case it didn't. The dose was halved to combat it and then stopped. I no longer take it.

I had that foul taste for a month so I just kept dropping the weight, changing the diet and upping the water. Many people have an issue with it but AFAIK, it subsides.

Hi I have been managing my diabetes 2 with LCHF since 2011. I have also been fasting, both work, but from time to time it does not work. So I am now trying Metformin slow release 500mg once a day. But I have found that my mouth becomes incredibly dry! Any one else ?
