[QUOTE="DavidGrahamJones, post: 1605218, member: 245335"] My recent holiday was almost ruined by the side effects of Metformin, I'd kept close to my usual low carb and didn't eat anything suspicious or in rich sauces or anything. I was so fed up with it that I just stopped. It seems to have take a few weeks to work through my system but now I have a problem. I can't get my BG much below 12 whereas previously I could keep it in the 5 - 7 range unless I cheated and had toast or something. I'm happy to go back to Metformin although I shall ask to try the Sustained Release, just slightly disappointed that for the time being it's probably necessary to keep with it. Rushing to a loo is much easier at home because I know where it is. Strange towns and airports just do my head in. The anxiety doesn't help much when you're not able to find a loo quick. So, for me, Metformin is a necessary evil, we're all different though. [/QUOTE]
