Re: Metformin : How long before side effects start ?
I was taking metformin along with insulin for years without problems.
Then after suffering from stomach cramps/pains and diarrhoea for a while, I had an endoscopy, they found nothing.
Then after some time I realised it was the metformin after I had stopped taking it.
Was advised to try again with just half a tablet, 2 hours later, back on the bog
Eventually, my GP asked me to try slow/prolonged release metformin, and have had no problems since.
