Hello Everone,
I was diagnosed with type 1.5 diabetes 4 years ago, and was prescribed metformin for the first time just over a week ago.
I have never suffered with any of the complications with diabetes, and am fit and healthy but since taking metformin I have had some very nasty side effects. Terrible headches, nausea, cold and flu type symptoms and tingling fingers.
I have read that this is diabetic neuropathy, but it has only started since I started taking metformin. I was wondering whether anyone else has suffered these side effects with metformin?
Would really appreciate any advice x
