[QUOTE="angelal, post: 135693, member: 23448"] [b]Re: metformin side effects[/b] Hello, am new to the site and just wanted to ask if I am being unrealistic in asking my Diabetic Nurse to change my 850g x 3 per day Metformin to go on the slow release version? I was told that the doctor would not prescribe it because it is too expensive. My HBA1c was 8.9 at the last test. My problem is that I forget to take the lunchtime dose due to pressures of work. I have been trying to remember to take it but am still not quite there. She has been trying to get me to take another tablet which can produce hypos and I have been resisting it due to the fact that I am still working and drive. Any ideas about whether I can insist on the SR version. Also has anyone taken this and found any side effects? [/QUOTE]
