Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sugar Plum" data-source="post: 407485" data-attributes="member: 56120">Has anybody developed swollen feet and ankles by taking Metformin ?I took 2 tabs @ 500 mg per day for a very long time with no problems. When increased to 3 tabs @ 500 mg per day my  left foot started to puff up a little. When increased to 4 tabs @ 500 mg per day, the left foot and ankle became swollen and the right foot also.My Doctor has reduced the Metformin to 2 tabs per day @ 500 mg and supplemented it with 1 tab Gliclazide @ 80 mg per day. It is too early to make a judgement, but my feet have almost returned to normal after just over a week. Other people on the web have complained about 2,000 mg of Metformin per day making their feet and ankles swell.Has anybody else had this trouble ?from the look of it at present, in my case there is no doubt about it.My last HbA1c reading over month ago was 63 mmol/mol or 7.9 %. Not a disaster, but could be better.</blockquote>
