Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lamont D" data-source="post: 2714531" data-attributes="member: 85785">My endocrinologist was happy that I was taken off metformin, when I was referred.But I have seen others that their doctor had prescribed, hoping it would benefit or intervene in the process of glucogenisis. Which is known as a liver dump.Because of the excess insulin whilst going hypo.It never stopped me going hypo.As for lactic acidosis, it is a side effect of the drug, in some, and if found, the metformin should be stopped.With my lactose intolerance I know my doctors picked up on that.But I was so ill, before diagnosis, cos of the hypos, could have had any disease, I wouldn't have known about it.Do have a word with your doctor,Personally, I would have doubts about taking it, with RH.Best wishes.</blockquote>
