[QUOTE="ChristieM, post: 2176852, member: 364613"] I have been on Metformin for 3 years. When I started my brother who was also on it recommended that I take a good probiotic to avoid stomach upset. I took a multivitamin with a high level of probiotics and had no stomach problems. I have had no other effects except possibly a reduction in appetite. However a hospital consultant who also has T2 has told me that Metformin probably gives a measure of protection against heart disease and breast cancer. I’m sure I’ve also heard it can protect against bowel cancer but I can’t remember where I heard this. I certainly found this all quite positive news! [/QUOTE]
