[QUOTE="leogee, post: 1607154, member: 382231"] I was put on Metformin at beginning of year. Disaster. Terrible diarrhea, for a couple of months my life revolved around toilets. Then I got pancreatitis ,hospital continued administering Metformin. On discharge I re-read leaflet of do's and dont's. Says clearly do NOT take if suffering from pancreatitis. I stopped taking,doc put me on the SR version but to no avail. Taking nothing now until next HbA1c test results. Purely by chance one of my grandsons, a newly qualified pharmacist, not knowing of my T2D and medication, in a general conversation about drugs said Metformin is a " horrible" drug and the only reason he could see for it being widely prescribed is that it is cheap.
