[QUOTE="Osidge, post: 220674, member: 17302"] Hi Viks I doubt I can be of much use but here goes. Metformin should either deal with insulin resistance or do nothing. Of itself, it should not cause an increase BG levels. The acid reflux (as that is what it sounds like) may very well effect BG levels. I am on metformin and have acid reflux problems that I had prior to taking metformin. I also have to take omeprazole to stop the acid reflux. I don't think that that sort of medication would have any effect on the diabetes medications but would give relief from the heartburn symptoms. I would get your hubby to the GP and he may prescribe omeprazole to sort out the heartburn. Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that curbs the production of acid in the stomach. Hope this helps Doug [/QUOTE]
