[QUOTE="Pinkorchid, post: 1121312, member: 166283"] I do take Metformin and although my doctor says my diabetes is controlled... HbA1c was 42 at the last blood test....she still wants me to take it. She didn't say it lowers BG or anything but said that it has good protective properties for the body especially the heart. I can't take the full dosage of 1000mg twice a day because it makes me bloated and caused me to have loss of appetite but I can cope with 50mg twice a day of the slow release version and my doctor is happy with that as I have good BG levels she feels that is adequate for me. She said for anyone with diabetes even a small dose is better than none at all so I am quite happy to go on taking it and have no plans to come off it [/QUOTE]
